If parties elect to use mediation, details about the conflict are gathered and the parties will be contacted by the mediator who will facilitate their session. Mediation will generally occur within the one week of intake, unless parties request otherwise. The length of mediation sessions vary, from two to three hours. In some cases, an additional session may be scheduled. Depending upon the case, parties will have the option of having a verbal or written agreement.
Events discussed within the session are confidential.
In the case of written agreements, parties will receive copies of the agreement the next day. Mediation is not a finite event. If parties feel the need to return to mediation they are welcomed and encouraged to do so.
