Mediation
- A voluntary process for resolving disputes, where a neutral third person (the mediator) helps individuals with a conflict (the disputants or parties) resolve their conflict outside of the court system.
- A completely confidential process. What is said in the mediation cannot be used in court and cannot be shared without permission. By keeping the mediation confidential, parties are free to express their thoughts and concerns to reach the best solution possible.
- Through mediation, both parties can come to a “win-win” resolution and feel good with the outcome. Disputes and conflicts that go to court rarely end with this kind of successful outcome.
- Mediation saves time and money compared to litigation.
Conflict Resolution Training and Coaching
We provide training and education to students and community groups on how to resolve conflict themselves and how to prevent a conflict from turning into a full dispute. Training seminars are catered to each community group’s specific needs and interests.
Here are examples of some of the workshops and training sessions that are offered free of charge:
