For most people, being in a conflict is not fun. Participating in a mediation can be painful. Engaging in the conflict can even be
dangerous. But we can guide you. Remember that conflict also is an
opportunity to find better solutions, make changes, improve relationships, repair damage done.
We celebrate your openness to resolving your conflict now, peacefully--instead
of avoiding it or trying to coerce the other person legally or through power
plays.
If you perceive you are being attacked, of course you want to defend yourself. We can help you do that in the safest and least costly ways possible--whether you also have an attorney to counsel you or whether you do not.
The people on the other side may not want to mediate with you initially. We will help them understand that mediation allows both sides to be fully heard and understood; that there are no guilty parties in a mediation. And even if they will not participate directly, there is so much more we can help you do to address this issue straight away and directly with an eye to resolution.
Mediation is one option. It doesn’t always lead
to agreements but it almost always seems to benefit both parties. People in mediation usually come out with a
more humane view of the other person.
