During mediation, a neutral person helps two or more parties involved in a conflict to identify and develop solutions that work for everyone.
This neutral person, called your mediator, will never take sides or offer legal advice.
Mediation can help in a near infinite variety of conflicts.
It might look like two neighbors fighting over late night loud music, two young students suspended after a physical altercation at school, siblings quarreling over how to care for an aging parent, or something else.
Restorative Justice is a process that is guided by neutral, trained, and experienced Facilitators to provide a safe space for people to address wrongdoing or harm with each other, repair relationships, and offer a positive path moving forward.
Restorative Justice provides an opportunity to rebuild trust and create a path toward healing between two people, families, or communities when harm has occurred.
We want you to know that the cost for mediation will never be an additional source of stress. Also, our mediators are experts at avoiding jargon. They will always break things down so everyone can understand.
When you receive mediation services at The Dispute Resolution center, you are in very good hands. You can rest assured knowing your mediator will hear both sides fully and brainstorm solutions that work for everyone.
This is a safe space, and whatever your conflict, you are welcome here. We know conflict can be extremely stressful, so we are committed to doing all we can to be a calm, assuring, and steady presence on the path to resolution.
