Published on 5 September 2025 at 14:00

Mediation is an important process because it provides a constructive, cost-effective, and collaborative way to resolve conflicts without the need for lengthy or adversarial legal proceedings. By bringing in a neutral third party, mediation encourages open communication, active listening, and mutual understanding between those in disagreement. This approach not only helps parties reach fair and practical solutions but also preserves relationships that might otherwise be damaged through confrontation or litigation. Mediation empowers individuals to take an active role in shaping outcomes, fostering cooperation, reducing stress, and promoting lasting resolutions that benefit everyone involved.
