Find out how the mediation process works. Stage 1 The Mediator prepares for the case with both parties having a pre-meeting on their own with the mediator to hear their account, explain mediation and explore options. Stage 2 If both parties agree, they both go to a joint session where introductions are made, facts and feelings are discussed, and the future is described. Stage 3 If the mediation goes well, an Agreement may be written, and the mediators debrief the session.

Here are some useful tips for mediators. Look for any common ground between the parties and reflect that back to them. Try to lower the level of conflict by using more neutral language. The role of the mediator is to facilitate the meeting and the conversations between the parties. Always remember that it is the parties’ conflict, and they must come up with the solution to the situation, not you. Always look for positive comments or offers from the parties. Focus on the problem, not the people. Mediators never take sides. Focus on the future.
