Special Project/Public Policy Mediation​

This is a process that aids in resolving public issue disputes. It creates a space for everyone involved to meet with an  nonjudgmental mediator(s) to talk through the many perspectves and areas of expertise, be heard by each other, discuss public domain issues where resolution appears untenable, and work toward resolution.  One important area of public policy mediation is the stakeholders participate in the creation and drafting of ground rules and mechanisms of the mediation to address the issue at hand. Mediation offer a safe environment for representative stakeholders to meet and dialogue.

 

"A wide range of political dispute tends to spill over into public protests, court challenges and other areas of conflict.  By using a well moderated and well mediated community involvement process it is often possible to resolve some of the elements that create the dispute, and to create a resolution with a history that will withstand judicial scrutiny and that will fully solicit the support of the political and policy making processes."Public Policy Mediation -- Mediating Community Issues (adrr.com)
