Jan 16, 2025
Mountain Mediation, a provider of alternative dispute resolution services in the Wasatch Back, announced the launch of their Family Mediation Pilot Program. The program is designed to help families resolve conflicts such as divorce, separation, and child custody without resorting to litigation. The pilot program is supported by a 2024 Women’s Giving Fund grant through the Park City Community Foundation.“Mediation offers a constructive path for families navigating challenging conflicts, such as divorce or child custody disputes,” said Mountain Mediation Executive Director Gretchen Lee. “Our Family Mediation Pilot Program empowers families to resolve these issues fairly, respectfully, and with lasting solutions. This program will make mediation more accessible to families in our community and foster communication through difficult transitions. We are excited to see the positive impact it will have.”The program is led by four mediators with more than 50 years combined experience in family law and mediation, according to Mountain Mediation. They are Anne A. Cameron, Mindi Hansen, Natalie J. Malovich, Ph.D., and Shane Marx. Mountain Mediation’s family mediations are offered at a reduced cost to families who meet certain income criteria.
