Case Review:  Sharpening Mediation Practice

Genna Carrington will lead us in a discussion about difficult decisions that mediators make during the mediation process.

Genna Carrington serves as a Dependency Mediator handling complex child welfare matters in Allegheny County.  She has mediated over 250 dependency cases, including SPLC modifications and high contentious open dependency matters, contributing to significant docket relief and durable, court-ready resolutions.  She also mediates private custody matters in Allegheny County.  Her work centers on structured meditation in cases requiring interagency coordination, disciplined process management, and child-focused negotiation. She collaborates closely with the bench, CYF and counsel to facilitate efficient case movement while safeguarding the best interests of children.  Genn brings a data-informed, trauma-informed approach to resolving entrenched conflict and advancing sustainable outcomes in dependency and private practice.
