Where Mediation Can Help
Mediation is used in to help resolve a wide range of conflicts:
- family problems
- negotiating terms of divorce
- workplace personnel matters
- fullfilling warantee obligations
- business disagreements
- union grievances
- public interest and natural resource debates
- neighbor-to-neighbor disputes
- nation-to-nation
disputes (Think Jimmy Carter at Camp David...)
In my practice, I focus on helping people with family problems, though I will also assist on any of the following:
Divorce: Divorce Mediation helps families work together in resolving issues brought on by divorce or ending a relationship, including parenting, financial support, and property division. Mediation helps all parties, including the children, meet their needs. Most divorced couples find they communicate better after going through the mediation process. This is especially important when their are children involved. Click here for more information on divorce mediation.
Separation assessment and consultation: Couples in crisis may need help evaluating the potential for rebuilding the marriage or the need to separate. Mediation can help define the terms of the separation and developing interim agreements about finances, children, and living space.
Post-divorce mediation: When circumstances such as parenting plans need to change, conflict continues, or there are problems communication, mediation provides a safe, neutral forum in which to address these issues.
Non-traditional relationships: Mediation provides a forum to develop or dissolve domestic partnership agreements both inside and outside of marriage.
Organizational and workplace disputes: Disputes between employees, management and employees, and management and constituents can be very costly. A good employee can be very hard to replace. Deterioration in morale can lower workplace eficiency. Mediation is especially well suited for resolving conflict in the workplace.
Parent-Teen issues: Sometimes families find themselves over their heads dealing with changing family dynamics. Mediation, as a focussed alternative to counseling, can be helpful negotiating through difficult family issues.
Disputes over care for aging parents: As our population ages, elder mediation has become more and more important. Dealing with aging parents requires some delicacy so that matters of disagreement between parents and siblings can be worked out in ways that are respectful to all parties.
Inheritance and probate issues: Mediation can be very useful in helping family members resolve disputes over matters of moral, ethical, or financial responsibility or terms of distribution.
Family and small business disputes: Family businesses have an additional level of complexity in that they must manage business conflicts between family members. These can spin out of control at times. Mediation is well suited to examine the personal issues that are at play in small and family businesses.
Group Facilitation: In addition to mediation, I can lead your group process, or problem-solving sessions. I have worked with small groups for many years. My focus in groups of all kinds is on building relationships, staying focussed, and generating sustainable excitement.
