What should I expect from a Mediation session?

During mediation , you will need to be willing to work to resolve issues and to work through your difficulties. You should expect to discuss your position and try to listen to the other party too. You will have an opportunity to voice concerns and to speak without interruption.

CLM employs a co-mediation model, involving two mediators in the mediation sessions. Mediation begins with the mediators meeting both parties separately to explain mediation. This enables each party to discuss the issue(s) that require addressing. It allows them to determine what they would like from mediation. Once both parties agree to proceed a further meeting is arranged and the process begins. At this point, parties will sign an Agreement to Mediate. This agreement explains the ground rules for parties involved, how and when the mediation process will be conducted.
