Help Make Mediation a First Choice

Join a grassroots effort inviting mediators, organizations, and communities across the country to help more people understand and choose mediation.

Why Share Mediation?

Our Mission

Share Mediation’s objective is to promote the awareness and utilization of mediation as an effective means of resolving conflicts by engaging dispute resolution practitioners nationwide in a unified, week-long public education campaign.

Our goal is to inform communities about the benefits of mediation, foster a culture of peaceful conflict resolution, and empower individuals and organizations to choose collaboration over confrontation. By spreading knowledge and resources, we aim to create a more harmonious, efficient, and understanding society.

Watch this short video where Share Mediation committee members Gary Doernhoefer, Colin Rule, and Clare Fowler discuss the grassroots effort behind Share Mediation and why they are encouraging dispute resolution professionals to make the pledge.
