What types of conflicts are appropriate for mediation?
Typical mediations discuss workplace conflicts, child custody, initial divorce, separation, divorce and child custody modifications, elder issues, truancy, victim/offender, and other general conflicts. Mediation is future-focused and is usually successful where there will be a continuing relationship between the participants and where there are issues of high value involved. If the relationship is permanently over, if participants will never interact in the future, and/or if the value of the items/issues at stake is low, mediation may not be successful.
