mediation process model

The mediation process model is a framework that guides how a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps two or more conflicting parties reach an agreement. The mediator facilitates communication, encourages understanding, and explores options without making decisions for them. The process typically involves opening discussions, identifying issues, and working together to find mutually acceptable solutions. It’s a voluntary, collaborative approach aimed at resolving disputes efficiently, preserving relationships, and achieving outcomes that satisfy everyone involved.
