mediation standards

Mediation standards refer to a set of guidelines and best practices that ensure mediation processes are fair, effective, and respectful. These standards help mediators facilitate discussions between parties in conflict without favoring one side. They promote confidentiality, neutrality, and the empowerment of participants to reach their own agreements. By following these standards, mediators aim to create a safe environment where individuals can communicate openly, express their needs, and work collaboratively to find solutions, ultimately helping to resolve disputes amicably and constructively.
