Mountain Mediation launches Family Mediation Pilot Program

PARK CITY, Utah—Mountain Mediation, a key provider of alternative dispute resolution services in the Wasatch Back, has launched a Family Mediation Pilot Program to help families resolve conflicts such as divorce, separation, and child custody issues in a peaceful, constructive manner. The program is funded by a 2024 Women’s Giving Fund grant from the Park City Community Foundation.

“Mediation offers a constructive path for families navigating challenging conflicts, such as divorce or child custody disputes,” said Gretchen Lee, Mountain Mediation’s executive director. “Our Family Mediation Pilot Program empowers families to resolve these issues fairly, respectfully, and with lasting solutions. This program will make mediation more accessible to families in our community and foster communication through difficult transitions. We are excited to see the positive impact it will have.”

The program is supported by a team of four experienced mediators with over 50 years of combined expertise in family law and mediation. Anne A. Cameron, Mindi Hansen, Natalie J. Malovich, Ph.D., and Shane Marx will guide families through the mediation process to reach agreements prioritizing the best interests of all involved.

To ensure accessibility, Mountain Mediation offers family mediation services an a sliding scale for families who meet specific income criteria.  Their small claims court mediations and landlord/tenant mediations are free.

Mountain Mediation’s mission extends beyond family mediation. The nonprofit works to prevent conflict, resolve disputes, and enhance communication within the community. Its initiatives include a landlord/tenant eviction diversion program, communication training for schools and organizations, and community conversations.
