Individual Assessment Meetings

Before committing to joint mediation, each person participates in an Individual Assessment Meeting (approximately 60 minutes) to explain mediation principles, assess suitability, discuss concerns, and identify issues you'd like mediation to address. This is your first step toward understanding whether mediation is right for your situation.
