Dispute Resolution Support
Mediation Services


Purpose

Conflict is a part of everyday life but it doesn't have to be toxic and hurtful. With our ADR Trained Facilitators we can work with you to resolve a dispute in a manner that helps to restore peace and harmony to a relationship. ​
A Roster of ADR Trained Facilitators will provide facilitated, interest based negotiations as a service support to member Nations of SFNS. SFNS will coordinate and support every requested session and the Mediation Roster​

Service Overview

Service Outcome

The Roster and its Facilitators are not a decision -making body. Each facilitated dispute resolution session will usually result in a nonbinding decision left to the discretion of the parties of the session. Each session is voluntary therefore the parties will be responsible to uphold their agreed upon resolution. ​

Why this Helps

Affordability

​Free Service.

Trust

​Each session is conducted by an impartial, third party facilitator.

Safe

​Every session is confidential.

Voluntary

​It is up to you how far you want to go and when to stop.

Results

​Each resolution is decided upon by the parties in the conflict.

Timely

​Alternative to costly and lengthy court processes.
