Ready to mediate, but the other side isn't there yet?
That's common, and it doesn't mean mediation is off the table. Tell us a bit about the situation, and River can reach out to the other party on a neutral basis — explaining the process and offering them their own free introductory conversation.
It's not an admission
Agreeing to learn about mediation — or letting us reach out to the other party — is not an admission of fault, and does not concede your position.
We review before contacting anyone
Every request is reviewed by River before any outreach happens, to make sure mediation is appropriate for the situation.
The other party gets their own conversation
Before being asked to commit to anything, the other party is offered a free introductory conversation with the mediator, just like you were.
Request received.
Thank you — we'll review your request and follow up with you directly before contacting the other party.
