It is our hope to:

​

• Empower and train the broader community in high-quality alternative dispute-resolution skills

• Remove every barrier and make mediation training available to everyone - we believe this is a fundamental life skill for healthy communities, families, and society.

• Do our part to reduce the high volume of family cases in court and lighten the load of judicial officers and social services.

• Offer a culturally flexible approach to serve the unique needs of families better.

• Job creation for those with a heart to engage in justice.

• Offer peaceful alternatives to families, youth, and children.

Anyone (yes, anyone) can do the training and build a practice, a ministry, or help families where ever they find themselves. There are no strings attached. Live outside Minnesota - no problem, we train anyone, and you can bring your completed certificate to any state. Simply complete any additional or specific local requirements.

 We focus on people and their relationships using a restorative leadership style within mediation. 

​

Restorative Family Mediation includes an ADR modality called restorative circles to help neutrals stay entirely neutral and safeguard the mediation environment from coercion or power imbalances.
