For solving problems between people. East Metro Mediation provides free mediation services to people who live or work in Gresham and East Multnomah County.
Mediation is a way to work through a disagreement or conflict between two or more people.
The mediation process is facilitated by an impartial mediator who provides a safe setting for both sides of the issue to be expressed. The mediator helps clarify the issues and clear up misunderstandings so the people involved can consider their options for improving the future. Mediation is successful because there's a neutral person who's not involved in the situation. The mediator keeps all information confidential and helps the people in the conflict to come to a good solution. The mediators are people from the area who have been professionally trained in mediation.
