Conflict within the community over noise, loud music, parking spaces, children arguments, etc. can seriously affect people’s health and wellbeing. Instead of our home being a sanctuary, home can become a place of tension and unhappiness. In these circumstances, people commonly suffer sleep loss and other symptoms of stress, which in turn may impact on their physical health and their ability to function well in their wider lives.

For parents experiencing family conflict often turn to their immediate family members for support and advice. This support and advice can often be bias and not child focus. Our mediators are trained to lead family group conferences a process led by family members and extended family members.

Often through family conferences the concerns of the other parents can be put to ease knowing the parents have other members who can also support their children in times of need.

Family disputes can be a huge burden on emotion and be life changing.
