ABOUT CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Conflict resolution is what mediators do. Mediators are neutral parties who guide others in conflict
towards a mutually satisfactory agreement. They do not make suggestions or give advice, but rather
preside over a methodical and respectful problem-solving process.
How is this accomplished? Mediators provide ground rules, ask probing questions, encourage listening
as well as self-expression, and lead the parties in brainstorming/evaluating possible solutions. A
successful mediation results in a written agreement that is endorsed and signed by both parties. By
eliciting "buy-in" at every step of the way, mediators move parties towards resolutions that stick. But
you don't have to take our word for it.....
