This post will explore the top five types of mediation, examine specific examples of common disputes in each type, and help you to discover the advantages mediation provides.

Mediation Certification in Canada: What Are the Rules & Steps?
Considering a career in mediation? Your first priority is to understand the types of mediation certification available in Canada, at both the regional and national levels.
It can get a bit confusing because technically, mediation is not a regulated profession in Canada. There is no legally mandated training or licensing process for mediators.
However, Canada does have a powerful organization that sets clear standards and guidelines for mediator training and professional practice. This organization is called the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada (ADRIC). It encourages mediators and arbitrators to self-regulate by offering a variety of designations that are highly respected across the country.
It comes down to this: if you want to be recognized as a competent mediator, you'll need to earn a designation from the ADR Institute.
So where do you begin? What rules and steps must you follow to become a certified mediator?
In this post, we break down the process from start to finish. Here's what you need to know.
Arbitration vs Mediation vs Conciliation: Differences, Pros and Cons, Applications
Arbitration, mediation, and conciliation are popular forms of dispute resolution that offer interesting and diverse career opportunities.
People pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) training and accreditation for a number of reasons. Some aspire to become professional mediators or arbitrators. Others are simply looking to handle conflict better in their personal relationships or workplace.
It’s certainly an industry in demand. From business disputes to divorce settlements, people are turning to ADR as a more flexible, less costly, and more time-effective means of resolving conflicts.
Arbitration, mediation, and conciliation offer three different approaches to conflict resolution. They differ in terms of procedure and outcomes, as well as training and accreditation.
In this post, we guide you through clear definitions of arbitration versus mediation and conciliation, including applications along with pros and cons. Let's get started.
Pre-mediation: What It Is and Why It’s Important
Mediation has become an increasingly popular option for settling family disputes in Ontario. It’s typically quicker, more cost-effective, and less adversarial than going to court.
Mediators need to prepare and support their clients to make sure each party can participate fully. They need to be alert to anything that can adversely affect a client's ability to engage in the process, such as mental health issues or family violence.
That's why they meet with each party beforehand to understand the factors involved. This is known as pre-mediation, or "screening in."
