My boss is telling everyone about the mediation process and the Conflict Resolution Center. Most occur in the Grand Forks area, but we have made arrangements all over the United States. We are mediation providers for several organizations. Make fully informed decisions. The process works best when the parties are open, honest, and there is full disclosure of relevant information.
Parties decide what to bring to the table.
Consult with appropriate outside experts. Talk about communication needs in the mediation. Discuss concerns and needs for confidentiality. Freely talk about what matters most and how they feel about those issues, even if the issues are emotional and involve past events.
