Mediation FAQs > Family Mediation > What if everyone is locked into their own position? Can mediation work?

Search the FAQ for entries containing:

Yes, mediation can still work. The mediators will ask you to look closely at your needs, interests,
values and goals, rather than your positions. They will assist you in looking at options that might
meet those needs, interests, values and goals and be agreeable to everyone.
