Narrative Mediation

Narrative mediation is a conflict resolution approach that focuses on the stories people tell about their experiences and relationships. Instead of merely addressing the issues at hand, it invites participants to explore and articulate their narratives, helping them understand different perspectives. By reconstructing these stories collaboratively, individuals can find common ground and create new, shared narratives that foster understanding and cooperation. This method emphasizes the importance of language and meaning in resolving conflicts, turning disputes into opportunities for dialogue and connection while respecting each person's lived experience.
