Mediation: the Basics
Mediation is effective: 94% of RNW clients report satisfaction with their mediated agreements.
Mediation is voluntary: Mediation is an opportunity for parties in conflict to come together voluntarily to work out an agreement
Mediation is confidential: RNW will never reveal information from a mediated session to any outside party (with certain exceptions)
Mediations are conducted by a neutral third party: The mediators have no stake in the outcome. Their job is to facilitate a fair and impartial process.
Mediation is NOT:
A court hearing: Rather than hearing witnesses and evidence, mediators will ask the parties to share their position and interests.
A process to determine right and wrong: The parties, rather than a judge or jury, have the power to make agreements based on their individual interests.
A counseling session: The mediators are there to help people resolve issues. Mediators do not judge or give advice.
