—mediation for parents and families
Living separately as parents for various reasons, in which divorce can be one of them, can be a challenge. While various parts of the relation may change, you will stay parents together for the rest of your life. When the going get’s tough in your parent relation, mediation can smoothen the way.
Sometimes we lose ourselves in the struggle. Certainly when it is related to our children or parents. We each come from our own perspective, with the necessary blind spots. Often we are right. And so are the others. Each in their way. It is very human.
In mediation we sit down voluntarily and take the time to look at what is really going on. In as few meetings as possible, we look for solutions that are doable for everyone. It is not therapy, though we will focus on the relationship to the extend that is needed to solve the issue. The mediator plays a neutral, facilitating role. The persons involved design the solution themselves.
As a Certified mediator I facilitate for your team to find a conclusive short-term solution as well as to create a more sustainable long-term cooperative environment.
Mediation works when all partners are prepared to:
listen to the others
look at their own share in the issue
explore how they themselves can contribute to the solution.
Mediation can:
save you time: Time for your actual work instead of time needed for the conflict. Included the mental space needed for all the emotions and thoughts around it.
reduce stress: Respectful relationships lead to more mental and emotional peace at mind.
save you money: Prevention of costs due to malpractices, sick leave, meeting time to solve the conflict, re inventing procedures etc. No costs for lawyer nor other legal fees.
However, do be aware that people can withdraw from the process, as amongst colleagues it is voluntary.
