What happens in mediation? Mediation is a process where you can speak for yourself and make your own choices. Mediators listen as you explain the situation; promote communication between participatants; clarify topics for discussion; guide you through a process to develop solutions; and assist you in writing an agreement that will meet the needs of everyone.The mediators will not take sides or assess blame. In mediation you control the outcome -- no one tells you what to do. Mediation is:
--Voluntary
--Confidential
--Informal
--Convenient
--Open to All
--Free of Charge
--Effective
