The Mediation Process

Mediation is an informal process that allows each family member time to voice their concerns and offer suggestions to resolve conflicts. Straticare works to lead an organized discussion between family members. The family and mediator meets together so each member can effectively communicate important issues.
A mediator is not a judge and does not make decisions for the family. Likewise, a mediator is not the family’s attorney and does not provide legal advice.
