Home » Mediation Services » Child Protective Cases
Child protection cases involve situations where a child’s safety, well-being, or development may be at risk due to neglect, abuse, or unstable environments. These cases are often initiated by child welfare agencies and may include court intervention. Mediation in child protection supports families, guardians, and agencies in working collaboratively to create safe, supportive plans for the child.
It promotes open communication while keeping the child’s best interests at the forefront. Trained mediators facilitate constructive dialogue between all parties, reducing adversarial tension. Mediation may also help repair relationships and rebuild trust. In this setting, the goal is not to assign blame but to prioritize the child’s future. Clear documentation and thoughtful agreements are created to protect and support all involved.
