Lucille Damone

Ms. Lucille Damone envisions Held Mediation to be a healing modality and believes that mediation fosters empowerment and yields the opportunity for repair, with the party in dispute and with their self. Her empathy for others has provided her with the ability to serve as a natural bridge between people, and her role as a mediator is one that is natural.

Lucille is a Transformative Mediator by training, and has facilitated the following mediations:

•     Civil
•     Family
•     Child Custody
•     Parenting time
•     Child Support
•     Divorce
•     Surrogate/Estate disputes

Lucille has taken several specialized trainings on topics including Ethics, Domestic Violence, Trauma, Conflict Coaching, and Restorative Practices/Justice. She considers herself to be a ‘forever student’, continually seeking new information and knowledge to learn from, sharpen skills and expand.
