Prior to the mediation, the participants or parties tell the mediator what issues they want to discuss.

The mediator facilitates a conversation allowing each participant or party to share views and wishes. The mediator actively listens and holds space for the participants or parties to share ideas. The mediator helps folks discern what options might best meet needs, goals or wishes.

The participants choose what to discuss, and if they reach an agreement, the participants or parties decide what is says.
