Announcement:
Angeles Mediation Pro Bono Domestic Violence Mediation Project
In 2011-2012, Mark Baumann, JD, Rachel Hardies, MA, and Angeles Mediation, will be operating a pro bono Domestic Violence Mediation Project to help low income families who have had allegations or a history of domestic violence resolve conflict through mediation. Domestic violence may involve physical and/or emotional abuse, and/or may be perceived as a “high conflict” case. These are difficult cases that require special handling and attention, particularly to both parties needs and safety.
The interdisciplinary DV Mediation Project is an access to justice oriented project, offering people of modest means an alternative to litigation that may also offer a more effective method of managing entrenched conflict patterns. Part of the purpose of the project is to develop and report on effective mediation techniques for domestic violence situations.
The DV Mediation Project encourages attorney and advocate participation and the development of safety plans. Attorneys and advocates interested in participating in the Project may contact Mark Baumann or Nancy Rohde, and are encouraged to attend the Quileute Tribe’s unique DV training opportunity by the Southwest Center for Law and Policy in La Push on June 28 and 29. (This training is free and offers CLE credit. For more information see https://clallamcountybar.com/2011/06/03/842/)
Referrals to the DV Mediation Project will only be accepted from professionals, including lawyers, therapists and advocates. Parties interested in mediation services should ask professionals they are working with for a referral, and/or call Healthy Families for advocate and safety planning services in this or any DV situation. If you are interesting in contributing to the project, as a volunteer mediator, advocate, advisor, counselor, educator, concept developer, or otherwise, please call for more information.
