Project Description
Project Mission* To assist families to stay together or to expedite the re-
unification of families by using mediation for conflict resolution
throughout the Department of Social Services (DSS) Dependency and
Neglect (D&N) process.
Project Purpose- To offer mediation services to families involved with the
Department of Social Services for child protection issues. Research shows
that families who actively solve their own problems are more motivated
and follow through. In mediation, a neutral third party facilitates the
problem-solving sessions which empowers parents to become active in
resolving their issues. The neutral third party is critical to make this
process work. By offering mediation as an alternative form of conflict
resolution, the parents, their attorneys, the DSS caseworker, the GAL, and
Special Respondents are able to explore together avenues of resolution
beyond the typical solutions available through the current system.
The Department of Social Services, always looking for innovative
programs for their clients, started a pilot project in 1998 to mediate
various issues for families on a fast track through the court system for
child abuse/neglect (EPP). Of the EPP and core services cases mediated in
1999, all found resolution which resulted in lower costs for DSS and the
courts, more motivated parents and, most importantly, accelerated
permanency for the children involved.
Effective times in the D&N system to use mediation are:
• for pre D&N pleas,
• determining treatment plans or changes in treatment plans,
• addressing communication issues that exist (these can be between the
parents or between the family and the DSS caseworker, or other
professionals involved with the family), and;
• termination of parental rights issues.
Project Design- The courts, professionals, or families request mediation.
The mediator may meet with all parties individually to educate them
about the process of mediation and get a sense of the main issues to he
resolved in the mediation session. Two-hour mediations are set and
include all relevant parties needed to successfully resolve the issues. The
mediator clarifies the real issues of the conflict, promotes mutually
agreed upon settlements and records solutions. The success of the
mediation is measured by the parties' compliance on agreements and
saving time in court..
1
Target/Eligibility Populations
A. Total number of clients to be served will be 15 families or
approximately 35 parents and/or special respondents. Additionally,
professionals from DSS, the County attorney's office, GAL's, and the
family's attorney are also served through mediation.
B. Total individual clients and the children's ages. In most mediation
sessions there are a minimum of two family members and a minimum
of four professionals. Fifteen families will be served over the year
representing over 40 children from infancy through eighteen years of
age.
C. Total family units will be 15. Our unit of service is family units, not
individuals.
D. Any individuals needing bicultural-bilingual services will be
accommodated with an interpreter when possible.
E. Any South Weld County residents referred to mediation will be served.
F. Since mediation is not a crisis service, there is no 24-hour service. We
will be flexible in our hours to accommodate family schedules.
G. The monthly maximum capacity is open. Since there are several
mediators involved we can handle up to four families a month if
necessary.
H. The monthly average capacity is not applicable to this program.
I. The average mediation time will be four hours throughout the families
involvement with the D&N system over one year. A typical mediation
session is set for two hours at a time.
J. Average hours per week is not applicable for this program.
2
Type Of Services To Be Provided
We will be providing mediation services exclusively in order to assist 15
Weld County families involved in the D&N system to resolve conflicts and
disagreements within the family and between the family and the D&N
system. The resolutions made in mediation will impact the reduction of
child maltreatment and the reduction of behavior constituting status
offenses.
Mediation is a form of conflict resolution where a trained neutral third
party (the mediator) intervenes between conflicting parties. Mediation
will:
• Clarify the real issues in the conflict.
• Record possible solutions.
• Promote mutually agreed upon settlements.
Mediation is a process where the parties in conflict make the decisions.
This means that the solutions arrived at are:
• In their control.
• Unique to their situation.
• Enduring.
This project will have up to three qualified mediators on hand to provide
services. Each mediator will contact the parties involved prior to the
mediation to request necessary materials and discuss the mediation
process. Each mediation session will be scheduled in two-hour blocks
with the family receiving up to two blocks of mediation (or four hours)
throughout the year. Most resolutions occur within the first two hours.
The remaining hours will be used as the family goes through the process
and encounters other conflicts that are unresolved in the normal
channels. Cases will be referred to mediation through the courts, DSS,
GAL's or families.
A. Mediation is the actual planning process to resolve family issues, so by
nature, that problem-solving process guarantees comprehensive
inclusion of all necessary service providers.
B. Though mediation is not therapeutic in nature, it is a very flexible
process and demands participation from any one who is able to assist
in resolving the issue.
3
C. Again, mediation is not a therapeutic process, it is an alternative form
of conflict resolution. Sometimes mediators work together to co-
mediate. We have the capability to do that, however, most mediators
work on their own.
D. Mediation is designed solely to assist people to resolve conflicts.
Currently, there are several mediators in practice throughout Weld
County. This project differs in two main areas from mediations common
in a private practice. First, D&N mediation requires a direct knowledge of
the complexity of the D&N system and the issues involved in child
protection cases. Second, the mediations in this project involve large
numbers of people, whereas most private mediation practices are limited
to divorce and work related mediations serving a small group.
Additionally, most mediators in private practice charge a minimum of
$150.00 an hour plus writing time and preparation time. The background
of the mediators of this project, the complexity of the issues being
resolved, and the unique system that the issues must be resolved within
guarantee that this project is not duplicating other services in Weld
County. In fact, the mediators in this project were urged to submit this
proposal by the Court D&N case coordinator due to the large number of
D&N cases currently in the system that would benefit from mediation.
4
Measurable Outcomes
Success is easily measured in this project. First, when agreements are
made, that means the initial blocks that brought the case to the mediators
initially have been bridged. Second, since resolution came from all
parties there will be motivation to complete the agreements. Third, there
will be a reduction of time required for the D&N system by all parties
involved, including the court. And last, children will reach permanency
more rapidly.
A. Though children typically are not part of a mediation process, their
parents will be making decisions that will keep their children from
going into placement and/or coming home from placement more
rapidly. We expect this to happen in 80% of our mediations. So far, in
1999 it has been 100%.
B. D&N mediations often focus on treatment plans. The decisions the
parents make about their involvement with treatment plans directly
helps keep families together. We expect this to happen in 70% of our
cases. Those cases that are being referred for mediation of the
termination of parental rights will obviously not meet this criteria. We
anticipate that in 75% of these cases, we will bring a quick resolution
on how to make the termination process as successful as possible for
all involved. Again, to date in 1999, we have been 100% in both these
areas.
C. Again, as families take control of their decisions, they are empowered
and motivated to follow through. This will cause quicker re-unification
with their children in 90% of the cases. 1999 cases are still pending.
D. Learning effective conflict resolution through the mediation process
definitely improves parental competency. Mediation is a short-term
process and is focused on resolving specific issues in an expedited
manner. By participating in the mediation process, families begin to
learn new behaviors for conflict resolution. Since we are with the
families a limited time, it is difficult to measure this outcome.
E. Mediation is limited in this project to four hours per family. Thus, the
cost per family annually compared to the cost of placement is
significant.
F. The behavioral changes will be specifically around conflict resolution.
Many people who go through mediation pick up on new ways to
communicate and express themselves. The biggest benefit in these
5
cases is to give the parents the power to take responsibility to solve
their own problems. We anticipate that will happen in many of the
cases.
We will measure our outcomes through the written mediated agreement
that documents the resolutions made by the family and the professionals
involved. Follow-up on the family's compliance with the agreements will
be made monthly for up to three months. We will track any court time
saved due to the agreements made in mediation. If possible, we will track
the time saved in the permanency plan for the children due to the impact
of mediation.
6
Service Objectives
A. This project will show parents how to effectively resolve their conflicts
through cooperation and decision-making techniques. All conflicts
being solved will directly relate to child protection issues and how to
effectively deal with child maltreatment issues. We will measure our
success through the agreements made. When agreements are made
that solve the child protection issue and save court time, we consider
that successful.
B. Parental competency will be measured in this program as to how well
the parents do in resolving their issues and cooperating with the
mediation process. Again, our measure of this is with the written
agreements made by the parents and their dedication to follow-through
with these agreements.
C. Many of the professionals that the parents are involved with, such as
attorneys and caseworkers, will participate in the mediation. In those
cases, immediate ability to access resources is available. The
professionals attending the mediation have vast knowledge of the
services available in the County and can assist families in connecting
with them. Additionally, the mediation process will assist the parents
in dealing with professionals as they solve their conflicts.
7
Workload Standards
A. Number of hours per day, week or month. Mediation sessions will
take place in two-hour blocks. These blocks are typically a few weeks
apart.
B. There will be up 1:o three qualified mediators available to provide this
service.
C. The caseload will depend on the mediator's availability to mediate a
case in a timely fashion. Most mediators will handle four to five
families throughout the year.
D. Mediation is the form of conflict resolution being used in this project.
F. We will average four hours of mediation per family annually.
F. Three mediators providing these services.
G. All of our mediators are experienced and no longer require
supervision. We do have the option of meeting or conferring with each
other on a case by case basis if necessary. All information in mediation
is kept confidential, so any conferring is done taking this into account.
H. Insurance policy is attached.
R
Staff Qualifications
A. All mediators in this project have completed a minimum of forty hours
of mediation training and have mediated for several years.
Additionally, our mediators have direct experience with child
protection issues.
1) Kathleen L. Brunson, M.A. has been active in child protection issues
since 1986. A former director of c.a.r.e., she is currently an EPP
mediator for DSS.
2) Dana Wellman, M.A. has been a therapist at Northern Behavioral
Center for over fifteen years. His expertise is working with parents
involved in child protection issues. He, too, is an EPP mediator for DSS.
3) Hannah Staub, M.A. is a therapist/mediator/special advocate in
private practice for over fifteen years. Her expertise is with children
and child protection issues.
B. Three mediators are available for this project. Having this selection of
qualified experts in this area will enable the project to rapidly schedule
mediations and make sure there are no potential conflicts of interest
between the mediators and the cases.
C. All mediators bring a wealth of expertise in the area of mediation, as
well as child protection issues. These mediators were hand picked for
their unique backgrounds.
D. Not applicable for mediators, however, all mediators listed constantly
seek further education to assist them in sharpening their skills. If a
minimum of eight hours of continuing education is required, we can
accommodate that request.
E. Supervision is not required for mediators with this caliber of
experience. Again, we are available to consult with each other.
F. Not applicable.
