What Is Mediation?

Mediation is not negotiation, like a contract agreement – “I want this, you want that, I am willing to trade this for that.”  It is about how all those in dispute feel, as well as about their experiences and viewpoints.  Mediation respectfully brings those feelings into view so each person can express himself for herself, and be heard clearly by the other person. Often, conflicts are resolved or significantly lessened by mediation.

What Does Mediation Cost?

It’s FREE to Dayton residents and available to those outside the city too.  All mediations are private and confidential.
