Facilitation Santa Fe Stefanie Beninato Mediations Unlimited

Facilitation is a process by which a third-party neutral (facilitator) helps a group of people understand their common objectives and assists them to plan how to achieve these objectives. This dispute resolution process can facilitate the sharing of information, the generation of ideas, and the decision-making process. It can enhance communication, consensus building and decision making among individuals in a variety of settings, including community, corporate, educational and family groups.
