Mediation is a process used to peacefully resolve conflict. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process. The participants in mediation take responsibility for reaching their own solution with the help of third neutral parties, the mediators. We can mediate conflicts... variety of areas including family, neighbor/neighborhood, business, community, and school-based issues. We also mediate case referrals through the court system.

While the main goal of mediation is to settle a conflict by reaching a mutual agreement, mediation also promotes communication and cooperation. It allows the participants to control the decisions that affect their lives. Mediation is free, neutral, volantary and confidential.
