MENU OF SERVICES
APT Mediation & Facilitation LLC (APT) serves to provide neutral conflict management services that are crafted with the input of each client’s needs and goals in-mind.
Mediation
A process of bringing people in conflict together to explore resolution. Mediation can look different, depending on the needs of the parties. The constant, however, is that every mediation will include confidentiality, a trusted neutral, and an exploration of the causes, concerns and possible solutions to the conflict. Whether the parties are in the same room, on a virtual platform or working asynchronously, participants should be prepared to be challenged in the exploration of resolutions in a safe environment.
Facilitation
A process of bringing people together, virtually or in-person, to promote improved understanding of issues and exploration of causes, impacts and actions that can be taken to address the issues. Various models of facilitation exist to provide structures of engagement. Whether it be collaborative models for problem-solving or facilitating difficult conversations, each process will reflect the needs of the clients.
Conflict Coaching
A one-on-one process of support, education, and problem-solving that serves to assist an individual going through conflict or simply someone who wishes to improve their own conflict management skillset.
Organizational Climate Assessment & Design
A process of understanding the culture and concerns of an organization, climate assessments allow for a third party neutral to obtain information in a safe way that increases the likelihood of a true and accurate depiction. Through the use of interviews, surveys, focus groups and observation, organizations can develop a more comprehensive understanding of areas that need attention. Systems design is a secondary step that help organizations see the possible approaches to impact needed change.
