JoAnn M. Goers (Mediator)
|
Hi!
I am a spiritual mediator, which means that I believe that the quality of presence I bring into the mediation room can have a definite impact on the mediation process. To that end, and as the Commmunications Liaison for the Spirituality Section of the ACR, I am dedicated to "Be the Peace" that I desire to bring in to the room. I achieve that through daily meditation practice, daily exercise, and through the blessing of having a wonderful and loving home.

| General Comments |
I believe that when families are transitioning it is critical, for the sake of the children, to do so in the most respectful and dignifed manner possible. Given the intensity of emotions that are naturally present; calming those emotions down rather than encouraging more intensity through litigation is the more mature and loving approach.
Collaboration and mediation encourages families to find that "middle path" that they can embark on for the sake of raising their children in a loving manner now that the family structure has changed. |
