Conflict is normal (it happens to everyone) and neutral: it is how one RESPONDS to it that makes it a positive or negative experience

Mediation works!

When the word conflict comes to mind most people think of words like: 
Arguing, disagreeing, fighting, unpleasant, scary, yelling and angry. The one thing these words have in common is that they are negative...which means must of us avoid conflict. However, if conflict is avoided it doesn't go away, it just slips from your mind until the next conflict arises.
​
Mediators help folks have the conversations needed to resolve conflict even when they are difficult to have.
