What Are the Benefits of Mediation?
Mediation usually costs less money and takes less time than litigation, and compliance with agreements is often higher than with court-imposed judgments. Another primary benefit is privacy. The process is confidential, allowing parties to avoid public disclosure of sensitive information in the courts. From Association for Conflict Resolution website www.acrnet.org.
Who Should attend: Family Lawyers, Clinical Social Workers, Psychologists, Family Court Judges, Counselors, Family Therapists, Financial Planners, and others working with families.
