Mediation: Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that uses an impartial third party (Mediator McMurdie) to engage people constructively to resolve their conflicts, family, personal or commercial. The Mediator's only job is to get people to a full resolution of the conflict and the tool box for doing so is versatile and helpful. Mediation can and usually does save time and money, and allows the people to retain control over the process and their outcomes. McMurdie states it is the most progressive way to resolve conflict today.
