Children can and should be protected from the collateral damage that often results when adult relationships change. Parents choose mediation to ensure they are at the forefront of that effort. By putting aside their own grievances, parents can create situation-specific patenting plans, model cooperative and mature behavior, and reinforce to their children that they are safe, cared for, prioritized, and will always have the full support of each parent.

Families do not end, they shift. Be an active participant in that process and commit to making it through.
