Conflict mediation
Mediation Services
Finding solutions with the help of a third party who is neutral and impartial
Mediation is a form of ADR - alternative dispute resolution – that empowers people and helps raise awareness and responsibility to accept, understand and overcome conflict. It is ideal when the intention is primarily to maintain or improve the relationship.
Mediation is a voluntary process where the parties involved identify the issues that matter to them and try to find solutions together, with the help of a professional third party - the Mediator - who is neutral and impartial and creates a space of respect and cooperative communication.
All that is shared in the Mediation sessions are strictly confidential.
The number of sessions varies according to the complexity of each case.

School mediation
School Mediation is becoming increasingly popular as a progressive educational tool, enabling students to investigate the antecedents, mechanisms, and outcomes of conflict in a safe, enjoyable environment.
Projects in this field should include the entire educational community in order to support change in a sustainable manner. Short interventions to raise awareness on the importance of Conflict Mediation may also be conveyed.
Through the mediation process, people are encouraged to use their own resources and discernment in order to communicate and (re)solve the conflict in question.
This level of commitment and collaboration improves their quality of life and helps them move forward, with a rewarding sense of justice.
In each session, parties are supported to broaden their perspective and adopt a more responsible position, that meets both interests and needs.
