Facilitative mediation is a process where a neutral person helps two or more parties in a conflict to communicate and find a solution themselves. The mediator's role is to guide the conversation and help the parties understand each other's perspective, without giving advice or making decisions for them. The focus is on creating a safe and respectful environment to promote open dialogue and cooperation, leading to a mutually agreed resolution.
