Mediations have assisted many individuals and groups to move beyond painful experiences and grievances toward agreements and reconciliation. Ohio University has contracted a community organization to conduct the mediations. They have skilled, trained mediators who are committed to finding peaceful solutions to individual and community disputes. In general, two mediators work together during the mediation sessions. Together, you and the AAMS director will assess whether your situation is appropriate for mediation and if so, AAMS will contact the other people involved to explore the option of setting up a mediation session.
Mediation is a confidential and voluntary service.
During the two year pilot project, Ohio University has contracted for the service, so work-place related mediations are available at no cost to faculty or staff members. Mediations are conducted at their off-campus office, which is located at 8 North Court Street, Suite 408. Mediations may take place during work hours, evenings or weekends. We invite your comments. Please be advised that emails are not confidential.
