Dispute Resolution and Mediation offered at Peninsula Dispute Resolution Center
Mediation is an opportunity for people to have conversations and come to resolutions about the things that matter most to them. Mediation is confidential, safe, and effective. PDRC has a sliding scale for mediation fees.
Mediation is one way that people can resolve their conflicts and still maintain or improve the quality of the relationship with the other person. In a family, a business environment, or in small towns, this can be especially important. What you can expect in a mediation session: Trained certified mediators to guide you through the mediation process and the expectation of the mediation To keep the communication productive and focused on the issue the mediator will outline what it means to mediate in good faith Time to tell all parties your story, how you feel, and how you would like to resolve the issues Time to listen and hear the other parties’ stories, how they feel, and how they would like to resolve the issues Work together to outline a list of items you would like resolved Talk to each other and come to mutually agreeable solutions Design your own settlement agreements that are long lasting Mediation sessions can last up to 3 hours, and parties can schedule multiple session based on their own needs. Parenting Plan Creation and Parenting Plan Modifications In the state of Washington, parents are required to have a "Parenting Plan" before a judge will grant a divorce. In Mediation the parents can work together in the best interest of the children, work through historical issues, and work towards healthy communication and respectful relationship. Additionally, parents will have the opportunity to design their parenting plan that looks to the future; identifying potential changes in their lives: i.e. new partners, residential transfers, children's changing needs. When parents' communication is ineffective, children suffer in school, in peer relationships and in self-esteem. Unresolved conflict is expensive. Business Mediations are an effective and efficient process to help resolve employment disputes. A neutral mediator can assist parties in reaching a voluntary, negotiated agreement. Choosing mediation to resolve employment disputes promotes a better work environment, reduces costs and brings satisfaction for both the employer and the employee. According to Halvorson Human Resources, the cost of turnover ranges from approximately 3 months pay for an hourly worker to $145,000 for a hi-tech employee. Conflict is expensive. PDRC offers the following meditations: Family, Divorce, Parenting Plans, Foreclosure, Neighborhood, Workplace, Business, Landlord/Tenant
