The Facilitative Mediation Process​
We have developed a psychologically-informed approach to dispute resolution which focuses on improving people’s capacity to engage in meaningful and constructive conversations.
​​​
This approach is applicable to a range of contexts including one-on-one discussions, mediations (formal or informal), legally represented or unrepresented parties, facilitative investigations, and facilitated interest-based negotiations.​ Matters may involve many parties or stakeholders.
We have conducted dispute resolution processes for corporate, workplace and HR, community, family, and school matters.
​​
Initially, the mediator(s) will meet with parties individually in order to clarify each party's purpose, and to co-create a safe and productive process.
​​
Facilitative mediators do not provide advice or decide outcomes.​​​​​
