About Us


HOME / ABOUT US

At Hope For Our Future, LLC, we are dedicated to supporting families as they navigate some of life’s most challenging moments. We understand that every family’s story is unique, and our goal is to provide guidance, tools, and a safe space to help parents and children move forward with confidence and care.


We offer a range of family-centered services, including:

  • Mediation – Helping parents and families work through conflict, improve communication, and reach agreements that fit their needs.
  • Parenting Coordination – Guiding parents in reducing conflict, building healthier co-parenting relationships, and focusing on what’s best for their children.
  • Guardian ad Litem – Ensuring that children’s voices are heard and their best interests are represented in important decisions.
  • Supervised Parenting Time & Exchanges – Providing a safe, neutral environment for children to spend time with their parents and for families to make smooth transitions.
  • Workshops & Community Programs – Creating opportunities for families to learn, grow, and connect through parenting workshops, family activities, and educational events.



Everything we do is built on the belief that children thrive when families find positive ways to communicate, resolve conflict, and support one another. At Hope For Our Future, we walk alongside families with compassion, respect, and practical solutions that truly make a difference.

Hi! I am

Chelle Hendershot


For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with children and families in many different ways. I started in Education, teaching children from birth through 5th grade. Early in my teaching career, I spent five years with Indiana’s First Steps program, supporting children under the age of three and their families. I also spent many years working with children in grades 4 and 5. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in child development and a deep appreciation for the unique challenges families face.



Today, I continue that work as a mediatorparenting coordinator, and guardian ad litem. In these roles, my focus is always on creating a safe space where families can communicate openly, feel heard, and work together to find solutions that are best for their children.
