Where is the narrative mediation approach most effective?
Narrative practices are widely used in family mediation and divorce mediation. The approach is currently being applied to innovative practices in a collaborative divorce project where practitioners from law, mental health and finance team up together to assist a divorcing couple to transition to the post-divorce stage without being caught up in painful litigation. Narrative mediation is being used in restorative justice models and restorative practices in schools and can be used in multi-party disputes in public & private sectors. Narrative mediation has been used in resolving disputes in environmental contexts, corporate and small business contexts and in disputes with indigenous peoples and representatives of dominant cultures.
