Mediation provides four types of services...
Peacemaking
Peacemaking
is helping people resolve immediate or short term disputes.
The family cases included mediation and arbitration, with
issues concerning custody, access, property, maintenance,
other children issues, pensions, as well as other questions
involving separation. Towards the end of the time period,
there were some family and child service matters. As part
of its peacemaking efforts, Peacebuilder Mediation has assisted
with arbitration and mediation services. Sixty per cent of
Peacebuilder Mediation's total work is in this area.
The non-family cases included questions of workers' compensation,
human rights, personal injury, business disputes, workplace
and academic disputes.

Peacekeeping
Peacekeeping is helping groups create an environment
in which peace can develop and in which organizations can
create genuine leaders.
The practice included workshops on leadership, turning issues
into transformative moments through the creation of process/
structures (platforms for conflict), training for lawyers
and personal injury adjusters, and leading meetings for a
variety of groups including municipalities and First Nations.
It also included guiding organizations from crisis to where
they could make major policy decisions on a conflict resolution
model and a structure for integration with other organzations.
