BRIDGING CONFLICTING PARTIES THROUGH MEDIATION
MEDIATION Mediation is a facilitated negotiation; a process by which a mediator assists disputing parties to collaboratively discuss their concerns and solve their issues. Mediators assist in documenting mutually acceptable points of agreement the parties may reach. The mediator does not have authoritative decision-making or enforcing power. Participation by the parties is voluntary, private and face-to-face.
GROUP INTERACTION: WHO DO YOU GO TO WHEN IN CONFLICT?
BEFORE ENTERING INTO THE ROLE OF A MEDIATOR PARTIES HAVE VOLUNTARILY EXPRESSED THEIR NEED FOR IT PARTIES CAN ARTICULATE THEIR CONCERN EACH PARTY IS WILLING TO HEAR THE OTHER PARTY PARTIES TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS PARTIES ARE WILLING TO WORK ON MUTUAL OUTCOMES
