Community Mediation
Community Mediation offers constructive processes for resolving differences and conflicts between individuals, groups, and organizations. It is an alternative to avoidance, destructive, confrontational, prolonged litigation or violence. It gives people in conflict an opportunity to take responsibility for the resolution of their dispute and control the outcome. Community mediation is designed to preserve individual interests while strengthening relationships and building connections between people and groups and to create processes by which communites thrive for the good of all concerned.
