What is Mediation ?

 
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process, where an impartial third party –he mediator–  assists parties in resolving their conflicts.  The mediator helps the parties communicate as effectively as possible in order to have a clearer understanding of the problem and to help them find solutions that will lead to an agreement.  

This method of alternative conflict resolution, accessible to everyone, is often quicker and less expensive when compared to arbitration or other judicial processes.
