Welcome
 

Thank-you for your interest in San Diego Mediation Center’s (SDMC) Parent/Teen program.

San Diego Mediation Center has been offering mediation services to the communities of San Diego since 1983. We began as a community based organization-helping neighbors resolve their conflicts through mediation. We have grown substantiality and have expanded our services to include the entire County of San Diego.

While we have expanded our services to include mediation in such diverse fields as real estate, employment, probate, divorce, parent/teen and many others. We have always lead the way in alternative dispute resolution(ADR), helping neighbors, families, and businesses co-exist and deal with the day-to-day conflicts, which are inevitable.

While conflict is inevitable, the ways in which we handle it are diverse. Recognizing that no relationship is more important than the one between parents and teens, the Parent/Teen program is completing its fifth successful year. Some chronic conflicts between parents and their teens may include: school, attendance, dating, divorce or families may face more serious issues like teen pregnancy, run-away situations, or situations that are escalating out of control. SDMC’s Parent/Teen program is a good first step to getting families talking and working together. Teens are receptive to mediation because it doesn’t have the stigma of counseling or therapy.

The Parent/Teen program works with various social service agencies as well as the Police Department, Juvenile Court, school counselors and community-based organizations. Parent/Teen Mediation is a proven means of providing short-term, focused procedure to address chronic family disagreements before they escalate into destructive behaviors that can damage relationships. Mediations are usually completed in 2 or 3 sessions.

The cost for the program is $150.00, and allows up to 3 mediation sessions. The program fee can be adjusted on a sliding scale for those who qualify. No one is denied this service if they are unable to pay.
