The Children’s Services Mediation Program is a service provided through the Alberta government for parents, guardians and other people who have a substantial connection to a child or youth. An impartial mediator facilitates a discussion on topics such as safety concerns, visits with children, and communication between the parties. The mediation process will include parents or guardians, a caseworker, a supervisor and may include other participants who are relevant to the circumstances such as a child advocate, or a community support worker. These discussions are kept confidential and are not used in court unless all parties agree.
