Mediation Process

Conflict is a part of human interaction.  Mediation is a way to help people improve the quality of their communication when in the midst of conflict.  Mediators help parties talk together, clarify issues, develop alternatives, and make decisions.  The process gives people an opportunity to become more open to another perspective and gain interpersonal understanding.
