About Mediation Services

Why should I use mediation?

• It’s private and confidential.
  Mediation provides participants a way to handle conflicts without creating a student record or file and without bringing others into the dispute.
• It’s fast and easy.
  Mediation can allow students a fast way to deal with a conflict before it escalates into something that is unmanageable, or worse, results in a student conduct case or legal situation.
• It provides a future for the relationship.
  Unfortunately, a small conflict can end a friendship/relationship if not handled appropriately. Mediation allows students to reach a mutual agreement that will aid in the avoidance of future disputes so that a continued relationship is possible.
• It’s risk free.
  Mediation allows students to attempt to reach a mutual agreement.  All agreements are voluntary and using mediation doesn’t eliminate a student’s ability to use other appropriate options.

If mediation sounds right for you situation, please fill out an Intake Form and someone will contact you to discuss the situation.
