Pre-Mediation with Resync Mediation.
Mediation can be a complicated process, especially when it comes to family mediation.
What is pre-mediation and how does it help simplify the family mediation process?
To start pre-mediation itself has multiple meanings. Pre-mediation is often considered the first consultation you have with mediator prior to an individual or joint mediation session. At Resync Mediation this session is free of charge.
However, preparing for mediation through a pre-mediation workshop can give you valuable insights into the mediation process as a client. Pre-mediation includes going through the basics of mediation, what to expect during mediation, how to prepare and how to come to a successful agreement – all of which can take complexity, fear, anxiety and a lot of personal research out of the mediation process.
Pre-mediation reviews the mediation process in-depth starting with the basic questions: what is mediation?
The workshop and materials you will review will explain the process, the mediator’s role, your role as a participant and give you an understanding of what you can do to ensure you come to an agreement that satisfies your long-term goals.
From conflict resolution and communication skills, to how to make and respond to proposals, pre-mediation can help you come to a successful, long-lasting agreement. This will ultimately save you stress during the process itself, and save you further time, money and challenges that may result from changes being needed to your agreement down the road.
Similar to how mediators are trained themselves, pre-mediation offers you the skills and knowledge you need to work through the mediation process like pro.
Most mediators do not offer a pre-mediation workshop but may refer some clients with high-conflict matters or other special considerations to someone who does. At Resync Mediation we believe everyone can benefit from pre-mediation. Regardless of whether or not you choose to participate in pre-mediation, we always ensure that your experience in mediation is a tailored processed best suited to your individual needs, communication styles and personality.
Our workshops generally last from 60-90 minutes and more information can be found on our website.
