As many know, mediation is a form of conflict or dispute resolution. It is a way of resolving disputes and reaching agreement between two or more parties with concrete effects. More specifically, mediation has a structure, timetable and dynamics that are typically lacking in ordinary conflict interactions between individuals. Participation is voluntary and the information within sessions is private and confidential. Mediation is beneficial since it includes a neutral third party that facilitates rather than directs the process. Mediation uses various techniques to open and improve the dialogue 

and empathy between people, which helps them to reach an understanding and agreement. In a session, involved and committed parties actively communicate their conflicting intentions, motives, beliefs, and ideas to facilitate the peaceful ending of conflict and retribution. This helps all parties to understand and resolve their views, emotions, and behaviors when handling the conflict. Mediation or conflict resolution can help with many issues, topics, and relationship dynamics to resolve even some of the most difficult problems in productive and mutually beneficial ways.
