Resources
Let’s work it out.
We are the first mediation business in Ontario to team up with Our Family In Two Homes to offer their workbooks as part of our mediation process. These “workbooks that work” will help you prepare for mediation. Being prepared increases collaborative and productive mediation sessions which can help reduce both time and fees.

These comprehensive workbooks combine customized legal information with opportunities for self-reflection – so you are prepared to engage in the discussions that matter the most.

Why do these workbooks work?
Offers an insightful approach to conflict
These resources were developed based on the Insight Approach to Conflict, which helps people in conflict understand and address the threats that get in the way of productive dialogue, opening up their pathways to learning something new while bringing about transformative change in their patterns of interaction.
Encourages curiosity and self-reflection
These resources encourage self-reflection with carefully-crafted, open questions that help prepare you for receptive engagement with your lawyer or mediator, and co-parent. The focus is on cultivating a sense of curiosity and discovery at a time when these are often lost, which prepares both parties for dialogue rather than debate.
Empowers through respect and autonomy
When trust and connection are challenged, you face a tough decision: “Do I cut and run, or do I commit to the work of untying this painful knot?”. These resources respect your ability to do the hard – but important – work to make a healthy transition to two homes, and are created with the belief that with the right support, people can be empowered to make the best decisions for their new kind of family.
