Pre-Mediation-Introductory Workshop to Child Arrangements Mediation
For parents who wish to prepare with intention, not impulse.
Many parents arrive at mediation unprepared — not through neglect, but because life’s emotions leave little space for reflection. Yet the most constructive outcomes often come from thoughtful preparation.
This private, pre-mediation session invites you to pause before the process begins. To step back from immediate tensions, and to think deeply about what you hope to achieve — for your child, for yourself, and for the co-parenting relationship you are building anew.
Old patterns and unresolved emotions can easily derail progress. This space allows you to identify them, to explore what truly matters, and to refine your approach so that your time in mediation is purposeful and child-centred.
The landscape of family law is changing. Increasingly, the courts expect parents to explore non-court solutions first — to demonstrate a willingness to resolve matters collaboratively and constructively.
The path to successful mediation starts long before you enter the room
Our pre-mediation reflection workshop provides a calm, structured opportunity to do just that:
To clarify your priorities.
To reframe discussions through a child-focused lens.
To prepare emotionally and practically for a process designed to heal, not harm.
Because when you enter mediation with clarity and composure, you give your child the greatest gift of all — a future free from conflict.
Why Preparation Matters
Why Preparation Matters
This workshop provides a structured, thoughtful framework for reflection before the process begins.
Together, we help you consider:
What outcomes would truly serve your child’s best interests?
What are your hopes and non-negotiables?
How might you approach old challenges differently this time?
It’s a space to gain balance before the conversation begins — helping you enter mediation with purpose rather than pressure.
A Safe Space for Reflection
A Safe Space for Reflection
Unspoken resentments, emotional fatigue, or long-standing communication patterns can easily surface during mediation.
This pre-mediation space is calm, confidential, and reflective — allowing you to prepare for the real conversation with emotional steadiness and focus.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
Explore what child-centred co-parenting might look like for your family.
Distinguish between past frustrations and present priorities.
Develop language and strategies that encourage cooperation and calm discussion.
This is a moment to reset — not to rehash.
Changing Landscape
Changing Landscape
The family law landscape has shifted. Courts now expect parents to actively consider non-court solutions and demonstrate that they’ve explored constructive dialogue before taking formal steps.
This workshop helps you prepare for that journey — to understand what to expect from child arrangement mediation, and to consider in advance how to approach key topics in a balanced and child-focused way.
Because the alternative — unresolved disputes, court proceedings, and external assessments — can often pull families further apart, rather than helping them find common ground.
