Standards of Practice Update

 


Our goal is to lead the nation in implementing standards that serve as a model for other organizations and mediators. As Oregon’s statewide association of mediators, we would like to ensure everyone has an opportunity to review, comment on, and provide input on any new standards, given their importance. This includes members of OMA, unaffiliated individual mediators, community programs, the OSB ADR Section, and the Court mediation programs. This project would not be possible without the efforts of the Standards and Practices Committee members Kate Hall, Jack Hollis, Steven Leskin and Lynn Steyaert. Revisit this page for future updates. If you have any questions, contact us.

The Oregon Mediation Association

Welcome to OMA

Conflict is a natural part of life. Managed intentionally, conflict can positively transform lives and relationships. Mediators are trained to understand the source of conflicts and identify a path away from adversarial positions toward positive growth and change. Mediators create a safe space to have difficult conversations. The Oregon Mediation Association works to build greater awareness of mediation as a useful conflict management tool.

OMA in a Nutshell

OMA is a network of practitioners and supporters who are committed to the development, support and advocacy of mediation in Oregon.

Mission

OMA's mission is to help Oregonians transform the way they confront and resolve conflict in their personal lives and in their communities.
