What is mediation
When people stop listening to each other, a conflict arises — at work, in the family, or in a partnership. Mediation helps to restore dialogue with the participation of a neutral intermediary: the mediator. They help the parties understand one another and find a solution that is acceptable for everyone.
Around the world, mediation is an alternative to court proceedings and confrontation. It saves relationships, time, and resources. In Ukraine, the Law "On Mediation" has been in effect since 2021, and the demand for specialists is growing — in business, law, psychology, and other fields.
