…Is the process where two or more disputing parties confidentially discuss the issues of their situation with the help of a trained impartial mediator and work toward a joint resolution ~ usually in the form of a written agreement.

o Clarify their concerns
o Feel heard
o Understand the issues
o Feel safe
o Become a problem solver
o Find a resolution!
o Determine specifics of a written agreement
o Create feedback processes
