MTSS Services
Make The Strong Stronger (MTSS) is the underlying philosophy behind the mediation process conducted by founder and mediator Stephen Royes.
When conflict between people is at its peak, it becomes extremely difficult for individuals to calmly articulate themselves and their needs in a manner that helps both sides achieve resolution. Assistance by a trained mediator will do just that – provide a calm space and opportunity for both sides to express their issues so they can be acknowledged, considered and worked out.
MTSS mediation is an approach that considers the parties in dispute, along with the mediator, to be a team focused on one common goal: resolving the dispute and creating an agreement on the issues that works for both parties.
The MTSS goal is not just to get an agreement settled, but to do so in a manner that leaves both parties feeling good about tomorrow.
MTSS Mediation offers several services focused on helping individuals reach and maintain a mutually agreeable resolution to their conflicts.
About MTSS Mediation
INFORMAL - CONFIDENTIAL - VOLUNTARY
Mediation is an informal and non-judgmental process that provides a highly trained, neutral third party to facilitate communication between people experiencing conflict.
A key component to mediation is that the entire process is confidential. Anything that is said and any correspondence produced during a session cannot be disclosed without mutual agreement, nor can it be used in court. This ensures a safe place to work out issues openly and honestly without fear that anything you say may be used against you.
Because participation in mediation is voluntary, the parties decide whether or not they want to participate. Once the process starts, the parties also maintain the option of ending at any time. It's a much more informal process than the court system where the individuals give up control of the outcome to a judge, often at great expense and stress.
