Family Mediation Program

The Family Mediation Program provides support to families experiencing family breakdown, youth/parent conflict, and general communication difficulties that may leave youth at a greater risk of entering homelessness.

 

This outreach position is able to meet with the family where they feel most comfortable with the goal of strengthening youth-family relationships and preventing youth homelessness. The Family Mediation Worker provides mediation, short term intervention, referrals, and case management. The youth does not need to access emergency shelter to be eligible for this program.

 

Criteria for Assistance:

1

the youth must be between the ages of 14-24 years

2

the family must be located in the KFL&A area

3

voluntary participation from all persons

Our Family Mediation Worker can be reached by calling 613-449-4803 or by email to families@kingstonyouthshelter.com
