ABOUT TRANSFORMATIVE MODEL TRAININGS
In January 2001, Youth Alternatives Ingraham Family Mediation undertook a one-year pilot project to focus on the transformative mediation model. This model focuses less on specific outcomes, and more on how family members relate to one another. Youth Alternatives Ingraham Family Mediation adopted the transformative model of mediation in January 2002.
