Child & Family Services Alternative Dispute Resolution
Mediation
Families involved with Children’s Services can get help with resolving disagreements about their children and entitled to have a mediator facilitate discussion on topics such as safety concerns, visits with children, and communication between the parties. These discussions are confidential and focused on the best interest of the child.
Mediation is used as an alternative to court trials to resolve disagreements between child welfare workers and parents about a child’s care, where a child will live, who will be allowed to have contact with the child, or who has custody of a child.
Child protection mediation is proven very effective method to enhance the families’ ability to communicate and interact with community resources.

Tribunal Services
Bill C-92 and Inherent Jurisdiction
Provides that First Nation communities have jurisdiction to pass their own child welfare laws, deliver services, and implement their own review bodies such as tribunals and decision making processes.
Shifting jurisdiction to your community can be complex and Bill C-92 does affirm Indigenous peoples inherent right to control child and family services from implementing laws, to program delivery to decision making and review processes.
An Indigenous community can implement its own tribunal and take back decision--making grounded in culture, values and families.
