Family Mediation Services
The aging population worldwide has led to an increased demand for elder-related services, including mediation. In particular, as more seniors choose alternative housing options and face complex estate planning decisions, the need for professional mediation services to resolve disputes and conflicts is on the rise. Additionally, the emotional and familial complexities involved in elder-related conflicts require specialized expertise, creating a strong need for elder mediation services.
For families, caregivers, and friends, navigating through a mix of emotions, family conflicts, and tough choices can be challenging. It's common for not everyone in the family to be on the same page. In such situations, having a skilled mediator with expertise in elder care can be invaluable.
​
At BridgeGen Mediation, we follow a person-centered mediator approach, focusing on each individual involved in the mediation process. We aim to create a space where voluntary family decisions can be reached. By fostering open dialogue, we ensure that all participants feel safe expressing their values, interests, strengths, and weaknesses while respecting and considering each person involved in the mediation.
