      <image:caption>Many issues we have with our partner and kids are often easily addressed with a constructive conversation early on. However, things often aren’t addressed because people avoid these difficult conversations, or they try something that doesn’t work which makes things worse, leading to escalation of emotions and ongoing conflict, complaints, tensions and a build up of resentment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Parents Mediation and Supported Conversations - Parent Adolescent Mediation</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are some really challenging situations that come up as your kids reach adolescence and teens, like dating, sex, drugs, alcohol, filthy bedrooms, homework and I am sure you can add some of your own. And then there are issues which make talking with your teenager even more difficult, like hormonal changes, mental health issues or separated parents. Parent Adolescent Mediation is a supported conversation to help young people and their families to resolve conflict and to develop new styles of communication. It allows both family members to express themselves openly and fully with the support of a neutral mediator. The mediator supports the conversation so you can gain a deeper understanding of the issues and each other. Mediation is for those issues that you have tried to work through but can’t, and that would benefit from a neutral third party with conflict resolution skills helping you through.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Relationship Mediation and Supported Conversations - Relationship Mediation</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is a myth that if you are with the right partner you will never experience conflict. There are many differences and difficult conversations that arise in any intimate, long term relationship. Conflict is a normal and essential part of our relationships. How conflict is navigated can determine the quality and sustainability of our intimate relationships. Mediation is a supported conversation between you and your partner to talk through issues that you are struggling with. Some examples to bring to mediation are: how you divide the chores and responsibilities differences in parenting financial issues intimacy and sexual issues infidelity and trust issues value differences how you want to communicate and work out issues ongoing as a couple</image:caption>
