In today's world, complexity and stress are abundant. Relationships are sometimes difficult to maintain in this ever-changing environment. The Center for Mediation & Conflict Resolution is at the forefront in establishing processes and training to help maneuver our society through conflict and communication breakdown. Our society in on a trend to move towards a more meaningful and sensitive method of conflict resolution. History has proven that legal avenues, including litigation, are expensive and do nothing to promote future relationships between the parties involved. It is common sense that life is more harmonious when we are communicating and attempting to resolve our differences instead of fighting over them.

     We are trained in many areas of mediation….

• Family Conflict
• Child Custody
• Divorce
• Marriage Communication
• Business / Consumer Conflicts
• Labor Relations
• Peer Mediation Training
• Cultural Differences
• Religious Conflicts
• Congregational Conflicts
• Personal Injury Mediation

Some reasons you should consider a mediator instead of an attorney….

• Continued relationship is important as in a divorce or custody case
• Mediation is confidential, litigation is NOT
• COST. The average mediation is less than $600 and the average divorce case involving an attorney is more than $10,000. Since all civil cases have to be mediated anyway, why pay twice.  And in personal injury cases, the attorney gets at least 25% of your money. A mediator does not.
• Time. Your conflict can begin its resolution as soon as you hire the mediator. You don’t have to wait for the overtaxed court system to have a space for you. Instead on months or years, you can have resolution in days.
• Unbiased assistance. It is the mediator’s job to help facilitate a win-win situation for all parties.
• You have control of the process. You choose the mediator; where the courts get to choose the judge. You are in total control of the outcome. This makes for lasting success since the parties are a part of the solution.
• Less stressful and emotional. Makes allowances for the process to be emotional.
