Mediation@MIT offers confidential* consultations about difficult conversations, difficult people, or ways to handle a dispute or conflict. Mediation is one avenue; there may be other solutions. We also offer trainings and workshops around conflict and dispute resolution including a 32-hour Mediation Basic Skills Workshop.

Mediation is a completely voluntary and confidential* process that helps two or more people in conflict clarify their issues and goals, communicate about the situation, and try to reach constructive resolution.

Mediators are peers—members of the MIT community trained in mediation to help the parties work together on the issues that are important to them.

Mediators do not make decisions about who is right or wrong, or how things should be resolved. All decisions are made by the parties.

* Confidentiality Policy: We keep all conversations in confidence and will only share with the permission of the visitor or party - except in the unusual situation of imminent risk of harm to self or others.
