Mediation is an effective Alternative Dispute Resolution method focusing on collaborative creative solutions to conflict.
Those involved reach resolutions they mutually agree to rather than living with an imposed settlement they had no input into.
The process is facilitated by a mediator, who is a neutral third party that allows all involved to have their say in a supportive and confidential setting. The goal of the mediator is to allow the free flow of communication and collaborative problem solving to occur, resulting in a mutually designed and agreed to solution.

Since conflict in Church is so contrary to what we expect, it is often buried with the hope of it disappearing. Church leaders often say "We'll handle the conflict ourselves."
Unresolved conflict impacts more than just the disputing parties. The entire congregation is affected. A neutral third party mediator brings the tools needed to help all parties resolve their differences. Communication is key. Mediation can keep everyone talking
Disputes between members of the community can cause unrest and upset. Neighbourhood disputes can make everyday living very unpleasant. Often tempers become so hot that neither side is able to even talk to the other. Mediation can help open the lines of communication in a non-adversarial setting and allow you to improve the already strained relationship. Also, who better to decide on a resolution to the conflict than those living with it on a daily basis.
Both as a requirement of the new condo act as well as good community relations, mediation can be a very effective method of solving disputes. Both neighbourly conflicts and those involving boards of directors and property managers can be efficiently handled through the collaborative approach of mediation.
Consumers and business alike are sometimes unable to reach satisfactory settlements to disputes. Mediation can help each party understand the other and reach a resolution.
Where is it more important to maintain a peaceful and stress-free environment than in the one place you escape to for just those reasons. Both landlords and tenants want each other to be happy. When conflict becomes an obstacle, intervention is essential. Remember, good tenants are just as hard to find as good landlords.
Disputes between neighbours are often the hardest to resolve. Tensions run high as do the stakes. Allowing a neutral third party to guide the discussions and help explore options ensures solutions that work for everyone.
Owners of newly constructed homes are excited about and proud of their investment. The furthest thing from their mind is a dispute with the builder. Mediation can often resolve problems before they get out of hand. Mediation can also help with gaps left by the new homeowner warranty program or avoid a claim altogether. Those involved are the best qualified to resolve the dispute.
Senior mediation is a positive alternative to court litigation with regards to the care and well being of our aging loved ones. It allows the loved ones to play an active role in the decision making processes and retain their autonomy. Studies show that those who are given the opportunity to take charge of their daily living activities and maintain their own environments live longer and happier lives. Support your loved ones efforts to take care of themselves and allow them the empowerment to live longer, happier and healthier lives.
Co-worker conflict can have a ripple effect in the workplace; increased turnover, high sick time, low morale, lost productivity and eventually lost customers. Often if the employees involved in the dispute can work together through mediation to uncover each others interests, they find solutions neither had ever imagined. Being able to resolve their own disputes in private without management, gives the employees the empowerment to resolve the conflicts and honour the agreement they themselves reach.
Employers invest a lot of time and resources in their employees. When disputes arise in the workplace, neither side wants them to continue unresolved. Mediation allows both sides to communicate freely in a confidential setting seeking the reasons for and solutions to the conflict. Working relationships are both maintained and improved.
