Facilitative meditation is a process in which outcome control remains almost entirely in the hands of the parties and counsel. The mediator restores communication and helps to create options for resolution by:
- Ensuring that all relevant information is understood by the parties
- Confirming the information exchange between parties
- Providing parties the ability to vent
- Coaching negotiators on next moves
- Helping parties invent settlement options
- Transmitting offers and demands
- Working to overcome potential impasses
