Young People & Families Mediation

Relationships between all family members can come under strain at various times for a number of reasons. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, mums, dads, children and young people might be finding it hard to get along. We can help across the generations We all experience conflict at some time in our lives. It may seem strange to think about needing help to talk, but when arguments escalate people often stop hearing what the other person is saying. This can be frustrating and leads to misunderstandings and people making assumptions about each other. Things can quickly get out of control and become very distressing not only for those involved but the wider family.

​

Our mediators can help you to have those difficult conversations that often end in upset. This service is not counselling but a way to facilitate a conversation enabling people to talk through issues and work on how to reduce conflict in the future. Using a systemic family therapy and Mediation approach, we look to help members of a family to understand each other better, change negative behavior and resolve conflict.

Currently we are incredibly proud to provide our service free of charge for the Shetland public.
