Follows a formal process with steps including introductory remarks, problem statements, information gathering, problem identification, bargaining, and writing the agreement, if resolved.
Seeking a compromise to find a solution and avoid going to court.
The parties expressing their emotions and points of view in a controlled, informal setting.
Developing creative solutions with the mediator facilitating the discussions and looking for common ground.
All parties fully participating so they feel heard by the mediator and the other party.
