Mediation Process

I am dedicated to provide a transformative and facilitative approach to mediation. Whether you are separating or needing support through a workplace conflict, the goal is to help resolve conflict and find peaceful and sustainable resolutions. The first step is deciding if mediation is right for you. 

​

​

Once all parties have had their intakes and agree to mediate, the next step is to schedule a joint session, if appropriate. Generally 2-3 sessions scheduled at 2-3 hours each is enough time to resolve all issues. Session time will be customized to the issue and parties needs. All joint sessions are split equally between both clients unless other agreements to payments have been made. 

Once you have decided that mediation is the right step for you, we will set up an intake call. This call is about one hour. Each party will have a separate intake session. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process, all parties need to agree to mediate. All parties will receive an agreement to mediate which includes payment structure.

Each party will receive a signed copy of the agreement to mediate as well as progress reports after each joint session. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be written and provided to all parties once an agreement is reached and all issues are resolved. This is a document that outlines what you have collaboratively agreed on. This is not legally binding and confidential. 

Issues that may be mediated may include but are not limited to:

- parenting decisions and planning

- child and spousal support

- understanding financial statements        and Section 7 expenses

- family dynamics

- peer workplace conflicts

- leadership workplace conflicts

- grievances and labour disputes 

Once you receive your MOU, you can choose whether to bring this to independent legal for advice to incorporate those terms into a formal separation agreement. Once it is signed, it becomes a legally binding document. Workplace medaition receives a summary of outcomes, not an MOU.
