We can also point you to information on mediation and other collaborative conflict resolution processes. Please see our Public Education initiatives.

If you would like Mediate BC to appoint a mediator or med-arb practitioner for your conflict, please contact our Roster Manager.
If you need more affordable services but don’t qualify for free services, you can search in our Directory for professionals who are willing to offer sliding scale rates that better match what you can afford.
If you think your mediator or med-arb practitioner may have acted inappropriately (or you are not sure), please see our Complaints Process and Standards of Conduct page for more details.
Registered Roster Mediators or RRMs are mediators who have met the stringent standards required for admission onto Mediate BC roster. The RRM designation reflects the rigorous training and ongoing experience Mediate BC requires of all mediators.
Mediate BC exists to serve the public. The RRM designation allows the public to easily identify mediators who have met high standards for admission, are committed to Mediate BC’s Standards of Conduct, and meet ongoing requirements for continuing professional development.
“Registered Roster Mediator” or “RRM” refers to mediators in good standing on Mediate BC’s Roster. These mediators have met rigorous training and experience requirements; they meet annual requirements for ongoing professional development; and they are committed to ethical mediation practice standards.
Many people use the term “mediator” loosely to refer to a person who helps others resolve disputes. However, not all “mediators” have training or experience. An RRM is an assurance that a mediator has met, and continues to meet, the strict standards to be included on a Mediate BC roster.
Mediators who have completed a substantial amount of training may join Mediate BC’s roster as Associates. They have not yet received the RRM designation, but they have met the initial training requirements, have committed to Mediate BC’s Standards of Conduct, and are available to conduct mediations.

In order to do this, we commit to deepening our understanding of the histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples and the ongoing effects of colonization. Further, we commit to developing meaningful dialogue and relationships founded on respect.
