Their role is not to judge or evaluate, but to serve as facilitators of a difficult conversation. At the end of the mediation, the mediators can assist the parties in preparing a summary of their decisions, a Parenting Plan, or other informal agreement-documents that the parties may find helpful.\n\n<br><br>\n\nMediation is voluntary and either party may choose to discontinue the process at any time. Any decisions made during a mediation are up to each party. All mediation at Sustainable Solution Services is strictly confidential; mediators are bound by professional confidentiality standards.

The transformative framework was first articulated by Robert A. Baruch Bush and Joseph P. Folger in The Promise of Mediation in 1994. Since then, transformative theory and practice has grown and is used in mediation, facilitation, and conflict management training all over the world.\n\n<br><br>\nIn the transformative view, conflict is primarily about human interaction rather than \u201cviolations of rights\u201d or \u201cconflicts of interest\u201d. Conflict is part of the basic dynamic of human interaction in which people struggle to balance concern for self with connections to others. When this balance is upset, human interaction becomes alienated and destructive, simply put there is a crisis in human interaction.
