Is mediation suitable for you?

In general you can presume that mediation can be appropriate for your situation, when you:
- are prepared to be open to the other party
- find it more important to reach a solution than getting your rights

To help you in more detail to stipulate if mediation is suitable for you, Mediation Amsterdam has developed the Mediation Test©.

When you conclude that you would want to integrate a mediator for your conflict, it is important of course that the other party (parties) also agree(s). We can e-mail you free of charge an example text, with which you can indicate to the other party the possibility of mediation.

		Disagree			Agree
1	I am prepared to reach a solution together and if necessary to give some ground
2	I am emotionally and mentally strong
3	I have a mandate to negotiate
4	I am tired of the conflict and want a fast solution
5	I find it important that the other side also will understand my view
6	I do not want a lawsuit and/or further escalation
7	I will still have to deal (regularly) with the other one in the future
8	I find it important that the conflict remains confidential
