  • Parenting Mediation - Mediation is a positive dispute resolution process for families and separating couples that are seeking an alternative to a contested and costly court process. In parenting mediation, Michelle strives to create a safe and respectful environment. All involved parties can respectfully and calmly communicate with each other regarding the future of their children. 


  • Family Group Conferencing -  Family Group Conferencing (FGC) is one of the prescribed methods for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) contemplated in the Child & Family Services Act in Ontario. FGC is a process used for many purposes. FGC is a decision-making process for resolving disputes between a children's aid society (CAS) and the family of children who are (or may be) in need of protection.
