Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation
John facilitates an MYL mediation process between co-workers, group/team members, and adult family members. People in the mediation also have the opportunity to learn communication and mediation skills and are given access to practical and supportive learning resources.
The Approach is based in the international work of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and integrates a mediation model, mindful awareness, and trauma healing. The approach includes a Reconciliation & Healing Process for when unresolved emotional hurt and pain is an aspect of the conflict.
The Mediation Process moves through five phases: from a joint Orientation session, to individual Pre-Mediation preparation sessions, to joint Mutual Understanding session(s), to joint Solution-Agreements session(s), to Follow Up support session(s).
