Southern California Family Mediation
We are giving peace a "fighting chance" for kids, families, and communities of LA. Free mediations for families at all LA County Children’s & Dependency Courts finally break the intergenerational cycles of family conflict and recidivism. Up to 94% of our underfunded & underserved parents become the heroes of their own stories for their children.

The Co-mmunication perspective has proven to achieve social objectives more efficiently. The Co-mmunication tool kit will be refined, packaged and made available for Los Angeles community organizers, social programs and municipal service providers, if we achieve the resources. Through the innovative creation of this teachable, learnable system, in 2023 the SCFM team documented 90% Success Rates, disrupting the primary path into foster care of 454 out of 504 of the children of the most underfunded and underserved families of Los Angeles.

Giving peace a chance for thousands of children, families, and communities of LA, proven since 2014.
