How can I make a referral to the Mediation Program?
To begin the referral process, please print, complete and submit the referral form (download it here) and send it to the mediation adviser along with any documents that would provide additional background information. The referral may be faxed to (907) 457-6791 or sent by email to the mediation advisor. All referrals and related documents are confidential and will be returned with a notice of the outcome of mediation. Mediation is always voluntary and confidential. NSYM is a non-profit organization, and the cost of a referral is a $25.00 service fee, which is due at the time of the first meeting. No other fees are charged for mediation.
Not all cases are appropriate for NSYC mediation. Each case is screened by the mediation advisor. If accepted for mediation, each party attends an intake conference with the co-mediators, and if appropriate, one or more joint sessions are held.
