Mediation is a facilitated, constructive negotiation process for resolving differences and conflicts between individuals, groups, and organizations. It is an alternative to avoidance, destructive confrontation, prolonged litigation or violence. It gives people in conflict an opportunity to take responsibility for the resolution of their dispute and control of the outcome.

Mediation is a process of dispute resolution in which one or more impartial third parties intervenes in a conflict with the consent of the disputants and assists them in negotiating a consensual and informed agreement. In mediation, the decision-making authority rests with the parties themselves.

One option for people in conflict is to go to court. The legal system can resolve their dispute, but the emotional and financial costs can be devastating. Many disputes have a prior history of an amicable relationship. Litigation will likely kill any prospect of continued relations.

Mediation offers an alternative:

• If you want to resolve a conflict calmly, quickly, affordably, fairly, and constructively
• If you want to resolve a conflict privately, without lots of people watching in a courtroom
• If you want to have control of the outcome of the conflict resolution process
• If you want to be creative in finding a better solution
• If you want to repair or strengthen a relationship with the other party
• If you want to find a realistic, workable solution to your problem based on your needs
