What is mediation?

Bringing people together in the same room, with an impartial third person, who assists them  to respectfully and actively listen to one another, explore the issues and move forwards with mutually agreed upon, positive outcomes, forms the basis of a successful mediation. High emotions are managed and a safe, structured environment is provided, which enhances positive communication.
