The Mekling Group provides conflict resolution services designed to support respectful communication and informed decision-making in situations involving disagreement or dispute. The appropriate form of support is determined through an initial review of each inquiry, with careful consideration of neutrality, scope, readiness of the parties, and applicable professional standards.
Mediation may be appropriate when two or more parties are prepared to engage directly in a facilitated process to address a dispute.
Detailed information regarding mediation services, certification, and types of mediation offered is available on the Mediation page.
In some situations, individuals may benefit from pre-mediation coaching prior to participating in mediation. Pre-mediation coaching is a preparatory service focused on readiness, process understanding, and communication considerations to support more productive participation in mediation. Pre-mediation coaching is not advocacy and does not involve providing legal advice or directing outcomes.
In limited circumstances, facilitated dialogue may be appropriate for small groups or teams seeking structured support for sensitive conversations outside of a formal mediation process. Facilitated dialogue is considered on a case-by-case basis and subject to scope and availability.
Conflict resolution services are guided by principles of neutrality, confidentiality, professional discretion, and respect for all parties. Not all conflict situations are appropriate for mediation or facilitation, and not all inquiries result in an engagement.
