Participation Certificates

A Participation Certificate is a certificate confirming that you have taken part in a mediation intake or mediation session. 

It can be a valuable record of your willingness to engage in the mediation process.

In these situations, having a Participation Certificate can be helpful. It shows that you took positive steps to explore resolution and engaged in the process in good faith, even if mediation could not continue.

The benefits to you could be:

✅Shows Willingness to Mediate: Willingness to consider mediation is a strong commitment to change

✅Mediation is voluntary: Not only did you make an inquiry about mediation - you showed up - this can provide a powerful signal that you are willing to mediate, willing to listen, willing to collaborate to resolution, willing to put the work into resolving the issue yourself, and willing to do so in person

✅Positive step forward: Often in disputes people feel that they do not have any agency the events happen to them, by considering mediation you are exploring your options to resolve a dispute or a difference, and that can feel empowering

✅Proactive: It reflects your proactive approach to resolving disputes, which may be valuable in ongoing discussions or professional contexts

✅Provides a Record of Attendance: Yes, you showed up - ideal for your own record or to show a third party that you participated in mediation in good faith

✅Optional and affordable: Available for a small additional fee on top of the intake or mediation session cost
