The Mediation Option for Ohio University students The Center for Student Advocacy has contracted with the Athens Area Mediation Service to conduct mediations for issues which seem appropriate. If you are a student and have accessed the CSA service, then you are eligible to have your situation mediated at no cost to you.
Mediation is a thoughtfully-structured process that can be used in a variety of conflict situations.
It is a way to help people resolve their own conflicts and design their own solutions. All solutions are voluntary and must be agreed upon by both parties. Mediations have assisted many individuals and groups to move beyond painful experiences and grievances toward agreements and reconciliation. 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.
