POSITIVE METHODS MEDIATION

Positive Methods Mediation (PMM) is an innovative process.  We re-frame conflict into an opportunity to create a best-case working partnership.  Effective long-term partnerships require compromise, cooperation and mutual benefit.   PMM is about far more than reaching an agreement.

  • Allows for each of you to develop a positive vision for your own future.

 partnership, strength, solution, compassion

3 PILLARS OF POSITIVE METHODS MEDIATION

FOUNDATIONS

Our powerful techniques will help you change your perspective from problem-focused to possibility-focused.   We create an environment that will help you see beyond your differences.  We lay the groundwork to help you create a best-case working partnership.

MEDIATION

Our neutral and professional mediators help you come to an agreement on the issues that are important to you.   We will help you craft an agreement that is flexible, sustainable and best supports the needs of everyone involved.

ONGOING SUPPORT

We will support you and your partnership through changing circumstances.  Our program provides ongoing coaching and facilitation to help you create the best possible outcomes for your family.  We are here for you when you need us.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Separation & Divorce

Family courts in Ontario are not family friendly.  The costs often reach tens of thousands of dollars.  It is common for a resolution to take more than two years.  Worst of all, you will be treated like a number.  What you need the most is someone to care for you as a human being.

We can help you and your family create an best-case working partnership.  We will listen to your unique stories and treat you with the utmost respect. We will help you create agreements that are tailor made to sustain your family’s success.   We’ll do it in a fraction of the time at far lower costs.

Elder Care

Most of us will face caring for an elderly parent or relative.   Often, siblings cannot agree on how to best care for their loved one. The most common issues that arise relate to living arrangements, financial concerns and estate plans.  It causes stress on everyone involved, including the person who needs us the most.

We will create an environment that encourages an open dialogue that acknowledges everyone’s perspective.  This includes, as much as possible, the Elder you care so much about.   We will support you in creating solutions that offer your elderly parent or relative the dignity they deserve.

Estate Issues

Disputes involving estates or trusts have torn many families apart.  Complex and unexpected issues often surface.   It is challenging and stressful to deal with these issues.  When you add hurt, grief and history into the equation, things can rapidly deteriorate beyond repair.

We can help with estate matters such as contested wills, estate administration disputes, succession planning conflicts, or taxation disputes.   We offer something of much greater significance as well; the chance to honour the legacy of the loved one you have lost by working together to find common ground.

Parenting

It can seem impossible to talk to your teenager.   You see the world so differently from one another.  You both have feelings, needs and wants but find it challenging to communicate them to each other.  It can feel like your wires are often crossed and it hurts.

We go far beyond what most traditional mediation firms can offer when it comes to improving your relationships with your kids.    We’ll show you how to create an incredible connection with your kids and how to speak each other’s language.  You are a lot closer than you think.
