Trust the process!
Mediation is a structured, interactive process where an impartial third party assists parties in resolving relationship conflicts through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.
The goal is to repair, restore and improve damaged relations, particularly when ongoing partnerships are essential.
And, mediation is successful 80-90% of the time, regardless of the issues or settings involved. Here’s why…
- It is a confidential dispute resolution (DR) process.
- Facilitated by a neutral | impartial facilitator with no vested interest in the outcome except for resolution.
- It is a process designed to guide people to self-determination on outcomes without coercion from the mediator or by any participant in the mediation.
