Mediation may happen with the parties communicating directly with each other in the presence of the mediator, or with each party meeting privately with the mediator and communicating with the other party or parties through the mediator. [At this point the screener should explain how mediation is done in their program.] Not all cases, however, go through the mediation process. I [or the mediation program] will determine whether mediation will take place in your case, and if mediation will take place, how it will be conducted. I have a few more questions to help make these decisions." |
