Why:

When folks are in conflict, it can be helpful to have a third party facilitate the conversation to move through and beyond​

 

Blame is the externalization of pain

​

Every action is because a need is being met or a need is not being met

​

Needs based negotiation

​

Everyone has a piece of the truth. Mediation is an opportunity for everyone to share their perspective and feel heard. Feelings are valid and can be a window into an unmet need. It's not always about giving or getting an apology. Sometimes it's just about owing behavior and acknowledging imact.
