Answering your questions about Mediator in a Box™...
Now that Harmonious Resolutions has been the U.S. distributor of Mediator in a Box for about a year, I wanted to take some time to answer the most asked questions about the box and its uses.
Q: Who can use the box?
The box was created for anyone who has conflict that needs resolution – AKA everyone! Children under 10 will need adult assistance completing all the steps of the box.
Q: What types of conflict can be resolved with the box?
The mediation process in the box works for all types of conflict – both single instance and recurring. We do not recommend the box for conflict that has high stakes, though the box can help anyone prepare for any difficult conversation.
Q: How long does it take to complete the 7 steps in the box?
It is recommended that you set aside one hour to complete the box on your first attempt. Once you get the hang of the process, it can be completed in 20 minutes! Conflicts that are more complex may require more time.
Q: What if I don't like conflict?
It’s safe to say that there are very few people in the world who actually enjoy conflict or spending their time embroiled in conflicts. Conflict is inevitable and necessary and the best way to move forward is to face the tough conversations that come along with it. The box helps people see that there are reasonable solutions that aren’t too painful to find!
Q: Will our solution last?
One of the main benefits of mediation is that each person is able to suggest solutions that they feel are appropriate and lasting. Mediation helps people reach solutions that are a “win” for all involved!
