Take a Visual Look at Mediation - Who Is Involved?

 

Conflict doesn’t have to lead to fireworks.    With some help, many parties reach their own agreements through mediation.



Mediators help parties to: 

• talk about their disputes;
• improve communication;
• reduce anger and fear;
• build trust;
• gather and share information;
• develop options to meet the parties’ respective needs;
• consider, weigh, and choose from the alternatives; and,
• reality test the agreements reached.                                                              

The parties retain control in mediation.  They are the ones who decide the terms of their agreements - or whether to reach agreements at all.

Not surprisingly, disputants often find that they achieve better results when they attempt to work out the issues between them.  Mediation is a flexible process that helps them do just that.
