Mediation is an alternative to going to court. This program connects those seeking conflict resolution services to local mediation service providers. Services are provided on a sliding fee basis and no one is turned away for an inability to pay. Mediation can help resolve conflicts between neighbors, landlords and tenants, family relationships, parenting time, workplace issues, etc.
