What is mediation?
Mediation is an informal setting focused on tabling key issues, encourage discussion and find solutions in a safe and supportive environment with the help of an impartial facilitator, that being a mediator. Mediation is not adversarial in nature, but rather about empowering people to work together, collaboratively toward a resolution on their own terms. In many cases, Mediation may help to preserve the relationship, or at least not escalate the conflict, which is important in situations where there is a continuing relationship.
