Mediation
l Mediation is a form of dispute and conflict resolution that can be for cases whereby the parents and grandparents have trouble communicating with each other. For instance, a mediator such as a family therapist, may talk separately or with both parties and attempt to reach a plan for raising the child or establishing visitation.

l Mediators may be social workers who mediate between social service agencies and grandparents and/or parents to work out decisions that are in the best interest of the child.
