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.
As a multidisciplinary practice group, we serve couples and families throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.
IACP is an international community of legal, mental health and financial professionals working in concert to create client-centered processes for resolving conflict.
The mission of the IACP is to transform the way families resolve conflict by building a global community of Collaborative Practice and consensual dispute resolution professionals.
