Types of Mediation: We talk about family, criminal and health mediation

If you are thinking of training in mediation, it is essential that you know the types of mediation that exist and so you can focus your professional future on the field in which you have trained or the one in which you are passionate.

In this post we will talk specifically about family mediation, criminal mediation and health mediation.

 
 

What does the mediation process consist of?

 
 mediationAs we have already explained on other occasions, It is defined as a means of conflict resolution, always in the form of an agreement between the parties. In fact, for the mediation process to be successful, it is always necessary for all parties involved to voluntarily reach an agreement, thus ensuring that the conflict is resolved satisfactorily for all of them.

 

This process is carried out under the supervision and constant advice of a mediator., who is the person in charge of directing the conflict towards a common agreement.

 

Without a doubt, Mediation is an exciting profession, since it directly and beneficially influences the lives of the people involved., the mediator having a great responsibility towards the parties and their objectives.

 

Next we will talk in this post about 3 types of mediation most in demand and expanding: family mediation, criminal mediation and health mediation.

 

3 Types of Mediation

 

As we have previously commented, we will develop in more depth three types of mediation that are currently being implemented in our country gradually and increasing: family mediation, criminal mediation and health mediation.

 

1# Family Mediation

Surely family mediation is one of the best known and most used in the professional field.

 

We have talked about this type on several occasions in our blog, and refers to the management of all conflicts that may arise in a family unit. We not only talk about divorces or problems within the couple, but also with inheritances or care for the elderly or between parents and children.

 

Family mediation is a very valid method that must be taken into account, since a family facing court is a big problem that causes a lot of pain not only to the parties involved in the conflict but to other family members.

Although it may seem impossible, and it is a type of mediation with many feelings involved, it is possible to reach beneficial agreements for all parties involved through a family mediation process.

 

2# Criminal Mediation

 

This type of mediation has already demonstrated the benefits that this way of resolving conflicts can offer society. We will resolve conflicts or problems between two people, and all their management.

 

We talk about criminal mediation in the problem-solving processes between the victim and the perpetrator peacefully and with the help of a person impartial to the problem (the mediator).

 

In criminal mediation we not only work on the conflict itself, but also on the management and internalization of sentences or sentences, being necessary in practically all cases since one of the parties usually considers the sentence resolved in a court to be unfair.

It is for this reason that, when the conflict reaches this level, it is necessary to try to find a peaceful solution to the problem so as not to reach agreements imposed and not agreed upon between the parties.

 

3# Health Mediation

 

In the third specialization we talk about health mediation.

 

Unfortunately, in the public health system, conflicts in the medical center itself are increasingly common: attacks on staff, between patients, breakage of equipment, etc. It is for this reason that the health mediation is becoming more and more important.

 

It is true thatOn the other hand, patients are increasingly aware of their ability to complain about poorly executed treatments, which is a positive aspect..

 

Well, for all these conflicts there is the figure of the mediator within a health center or institution, this person being in charge of try to resolve in a peaceful and conciliatory manner all conflicts that may arise at the center: attacks on staff, delays, problems with appointments, malpractice, medical responsibilities, etc.

This type of mediation not only speeds up the process and seeks satisfaction for all parties involved, but also helps the medical center to have feedback on possible points of improvement and patient opinions.

 

In future posts we will develop other types of mediation so that you can decide and specialize in the field that most motivates you for your professional future.
