Mediation is a confidential process, which means that what you say in mediation will not be shared by the mediator to anyone outside the mediation. The mediator cannot be called to testify about anything that was said during any mediation session.
There are a few exceptions to this confidentiality provision. One of those exceptions is if you were to commit a crime, such as an assault, during the mediation session itself. Another is if one of our mediators learned about child or elder abuse during the session, as we are mandated to report these to the state.
If your mediation was court ordered, the only things that our mediators will share with the court is that you either did or did not mediate with us, and that you did or did not reach an agreement.
