What is Mediation? Mediation is a guided negotiation process during which a mediator, who is an impartial neutral party, provides conflict intervention support to parties who are involved in a dispute and have been unable to find a mutually agreeable resolution on their own. Unlike in other forms of conflict intervention, parties in mediation remain active decision-makers during the entirety of the mediator-guided negotiation process, including the eventual outcome. What does a Mediator do? A mediator uses guided conflict intervention strategies and techniques to facilitate productive and resolution-oriented conversation between parties who are in conflict. As a neutral party, a mediator steps in to assist parties who have tried unsuccessfully to resolve their conflict independently. Why Mediation? Mediation empowers parties to retain control of their dispute, to be active participants in the intervention and resolution process, and to reach settlement without court intervention. Choosing mediation avoids pursuing or continuing with courtroom proceedings. Whether the mediation is court mandated or not, with the benefit of a trained and skilled conflict interventionist, mediation has the capacity to reach resolution for all parties. Is Mediation only for legal issues? No! The Mediation process is designed to help anyone in any form of conflict. That includes cases that are headed for or already moving through legal proceedings, as well as disputes in other areas that could benefit from trained, neutral intervention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b6d0660f74f64896b4b49e/e5f4f8a2-88fc-4cd6-9f41-38516f25d72c/unsplash-image-8kDJohzgeC0.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b6d0660f74f64896b4b49e/79174294-27a4-4296-918b-0ae32cf66c52/unsplash-image-K0c8ko3e6AA.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.scimediation.com/get-started-1 daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://www.scimediation.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-05-27 https://www.scimediation.com/new-page daily 0.75 2022-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b6d0660f74f64896b4b49e/aee5162b-f80b-4784-a3ae-88562ac8d3a6/Cover+cropped+20211220-203204.png Published Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.scimediation.com/our-team daily 0.75 2024-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b6d0660f74f64896b4b49e/88577023-007d-42ea-be53-cfac2516f593/LP+headshot+Portrait+office+color+balanced+pic+%231.jpg Meet Your SCI Team A veteran of federal, state, and private mediations, Liora has developed strategic conflict intervention for application across sectors and disciplines.
