What is Mediation?  
 

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process through which the people involved in a conflict sit down with a trained,

certified neutral third party to resolve their disputes. The mediators listen to both parties and help them create an agenda of topics to be negotiated. Then the parties negotiate with the intention of finding a solution that is both doable and durable.
