Community mediation helps the parties to talk about their issues and come up with their own resolution. The process is non-adversarial, confidential, and voluntary. It gives all parties the chance to air their issues, identify the needs of each party, develop options, and explore ways to resolve their differences. Community mediation can be used to resolve conflicts between individuals, families, businesses, and organisations. It can be used to resolve conflicts ranging from interpersonal disputes to neighbourhood disputes and beyond. Community mediation can help the parties to maintain relationships and avoid costly and time-consuming court proceedings. It also reduces the likelihood of a dispute escalating into a physical confrontation. Community mediation is an effective way to help people resolve their disputes in a safe, respectful, and productive manner.
