Mediation is a way of resolving a dispute in which an impartial person (the mediator) helps you discuss concerns and, if possible, reach a voluntary agreement. The mediator helps you think about your individual needs and interests, clarify your differences with the other person and find common ground.
With mediation:
Mediation is sometimes described as facilitated or assisted negotiation. This option works best when both people are able to sit together and, with the mediator’s help, develop problem-solving solutions on their own. Of course, some families will require more support than mediation provides.
All Bridges Professionals are available to help parties mediate their family disputes, in a private, neutral and safe process. We have extensive training in negotiation and conflict resolution techniques. Our role is to ensure that the process remains respectful and works to develop “win-win” solutions that might not otherwise occur within the families.
We are a group of independent divorce professionals working in the greater Portland, Oregon and Southwest Washington areas. We are an interdisciplinary “practice-group.” We meet monthly to hone our professional skills and we frequently work together on mediated or collaborative matters. Our nickname is Bridges Divorce and we frequently call each other “Bridgers.”
