  2. What is Mediation? A process whereby a neutral third party acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties where they can reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement. The decision making authority rests with the parties in conflict. Conflict is an inevitable part of our lives, and mediation can play a vital role in the peaceful resolution of such conflicts.

  3. The Mediation Process: • Confidential and private • Voluntary • Informal • Non adversarial • Interactive • Encourages parties to take responsibility • Fosters joint problem solving • Explores settlement alternatives (Win-Win)

Steps in the Mediation Process • The beginning: pre-mediation set-up • Mediator’s opening statement • Accumulating information: parties recount what has brought them to mediation • Assist parties in organizing agenda for the mediation (always subject to revision) • Generate movement, consider creative alternatives • Ending the mediation: written agreement
