Mediation is the use of an impartial, professional mediator to help distressed parties make informed decisions, reduce conflict, and to develop mutually acceptable agreements in painful and difficult situations.
Mediation is:
- Voluntary and confidential
- Private
- Cost effective
- Free of rigid rules
- Oriented to win-win solutions
Mediation is useful for resolution with:
- Separation, divorce, and post-divorce conflicts
- Adoption, parenting, and other family matters
- Pre-marital preparation
- Business disputes
- Estate and property settlement
- Community disputes
- Organizational conflicts
Mediation is designed to:
- Reduce tension, anger, and misunderstandings
- Foster communication and interaction
- Help parties reach their own acceptable agreement by fully exploring options
- Be tailor-made to meet the needs of parties involved
- Avoid the need for costly court-ordered decisions
- Prepare parties to anticipate, prevent or resolve disagreements that may arise
Solving problems is a cooperative team effort.
“Our task is not to fix blame for the past, but to fix the course for the future.”
-John F. Kennedy
