Interested in making a difference in your community? Consider becoming a volunteer mediator with Susquehanna Valley Mediation!

Susquehanna Valley Mediation (SVM) is inviting community members in Snyder, Union, and Northumberland counties, who are interested in becoming a volunteer, to attend an upcoming free Mediation Information Session and learn about SVM's work, how volunteer mediators help individuals and families navigate conflict, and what it takes to become a volunteer mediator.

Also, learn about the upcoming February 2027 Volunteer Mediation Training, and what to expect. There will be plenty of time to ask questions!

Two sessions will be offered:

December 1 from 12–1 p.m.
Snyder County East Building
713 Bridge St., Selinsgrove

December 10 from 6:30–7:30 p.m.
Union County Resource Center

SVM's Volunteer Mediation Training will be offered at two locations in February 2027:

Union County: February 12 (5–8:30 p.m.) and February 13–14 (9 a.m.–4 p.m.) at the Union County Resource Center in Lewisburg.
Snyder County: February 26 (5–8:30 p.m.) and February 27–28 (9 a.m.–4 p.m.) at the Snyder County East Building in Selinsgrove.

From our friends at the PA Family Support Alliance

Demands or stresses are a part of children's daily lives. Pressures may come from a number of sources - from within the child herself, as well as from parents, teachers, peers and the larger society. Read more about helping children manage stress and build resilience.

Don't forget to thank your local mediators today for helping people have the talk about their monsters under their bed and skeletons in their closets.

Conflict can often feel big, hairy, and scary like a spider - just because you can't see the problem, doesn't mean it isn't there! But we all know spiders aren't bad, and the same can be true about conflict.

Not every scary looking problem needs to be squashed! Sometimes, it just needs a little untangling.

Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood mediators at SVM! 🎃

Today, SVM was invited to participate in a panel at the "Bridging Connections in Addictions Research" Symposium at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine to talk with clinicians and researchers about our programs to support families in recovery in Union and Snyder Counties. Thanks to our program director, Shawnee Robel, for presenting! We came away with some great new connections to help us monitor and evaluate our work.
