Young homeless or at risk of becoming homeless through family breakdown? Wanting to resolve the issues that got you there?

If so Alone in London's satellite mediation service can help.

Alone in London is a youth homelessness charity that has been supporting young people since 1972. They provide a range of services to young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

You might not know it but one of the most common causes of youth homelessness is a breakdown in the relationship with parents or carers. 

Many young people experience periods of conflict and breakdown in communication with their parents/ carers. If not addressed in a managed way the effects can be devastating.

Mediators work to resolve conflicts and repair breakdowns in communication. They are non- judgmental, independent of local authority services and treat your information as highly confidential (unless there are clear risks to yourself or others). Alone in London's mediators will help you re-build positive relationships whilst providing practical and emotional support.
