Our Mission is to help preserve and strengthen families by building a strong, accessible and frequently used alternative domestic dispute resolution system in greater New Haven. We do this by,

• educating people who have an interest in children’s wellbeing about alternative dispute resolution in addressing custody and parenting access schedules;

• having a network of parenting coordinators who offer more creative solutions to parenting schedules, protection of confidentiality for families, and preservation of parent-child relationships, as compared to litigation;

• having a network of counselors who provide free mental health services and reunification therapies for parents and children in underserved communities to help families heal;

• helping to foresee challenges in parent-child relationships to prevent disruption and damage; and

• activating the judicial system, law enforcement, hospitals, and universities to advocate for systemic changes.
