Our meditation services are available virtually and in person.
Mediation is a step-by-step process that supports two or more individuals to resolve their differences.
The process includes:
- Assessing for mediation: Confidential initial meetings with each participant.
- Reviewing related documentation.
- Preparing each participant for mediation or if mediation is not possible making alternative recommendations.
- Facilitating a joint conversation between participants.
- Creating a written agreement.
- Follow up as necessary.
Our unique approach:
Each participant is provided with a personal therapist to provide additional emotional support. The joining of mediation and therapeutic support gives parties a clear voice, a focus on what really matters, the ability to address any extenuating circumstances that are intensifying the conflict, and the ability to fully shed the conflict.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is workplace mediation?
Mediation is a structured, step-by-step process in which a neutral third party helps two or more people resolve their differences and reach a written agreement. Turning Point Resolutions provides mediation for workplaces, school districts, and families across British Columbia, available virtually and in-person.
How does the mediation process work?
Our process has six stages: a confidential initial meeting with each participant, a review of related documentation, individual preparation (or alternative recommendations if mediation is not suitable), a facilitated joint conversation, a written agreement, and follow-up as needed.
What makes Turning Point Resolutions’ mediation different?
Each participant is offered a personal therapist for additional emotional support during the process. This helps participants focus on what really matters, address the underlying circumstances intensifying the conflict, and fully move past it.
Are mediation sessions available online?
Yes. All of our mediation services are available both virtually and in-person across British Columbia.
Who is mediation for?
Mediation is suited to workplaces, school districts, and families — any situation where two or more people need help resolving an ongoing dispute.
How much does a typical mediation cost?
The cost of a mediation depends on the number of agreed-upon processes, the parties involved, the scope and complexity of the situation, and participant readiness and availability. We outline a budget with you before we start the process.
How long does a typical mediation take from start to finish?
A typical two-party mediation takes 1-3 weeks to complete, with a follow-up built in shortly thereafter. The length of the mediation process is affected by the number of people involved, the scope and complexity, and the participants’ readiness. We provide you with an outline of costs at the start of the work.
