Facilitation

The facilitation process focuses on resolving conflicts within and between larger groups wrestling with significant differences in priorities, resources, goals or public and financial impact.

Trained facilitators work with the group to help them set a new agenda agreeable to all parties. The group will use that agenda to build consensus and reach a resolution (verbal or written).

The East Bay Community Mediation model uses co-facilitators to help parties and groups work on their disputes. Depending on the size and complexity of the issues, the facilitation work generally takes place over an extended period of time. Our facilitators will work with each group and develop a process tailored to their needs and concerns.

EBCM charges $50-$150 per hour (sliding scale) for most facilitation services.
