Mediation and Homelessness

Friday 16th May- SCSH, Edinburgh

A Half-Day Information Sharing Seminar
Mediation can play a key role in a holistic approach to homelessness prevention. With arguments in the family home a key trigger of youth homelessness, mediation is an intervention that focuses on causes rather than simply responding to symptoms. This half-day seminar will be an opportunity to share information about practice and will include a range of presentations – including an extended session on evaluation – a workshop session on promoting mediation services, and a panel discussion on key issues facing Scottish homelessness mediation.
