Civil Family Mediation Initiative

The Civil Family Mediation Initiative, part of the Anishinaabe Alternate Dispute Resolution (AADR) within Treaty #3 territory, provides a culturally attuned approach to resolving family issues, focusing on the welfare of children and youth. In this program, a facilitator meets with all involved parties to understand the impacts of the family’s challenges. Through Circles, a Facilitator collaborates with families to create a Family Plan, addressing challenges with solutions rooted in cultural values and family strength.
