Legal

Mediation is an alternative to going to court. This program connects those seeking conflict resolution services to local mediation service providers.  Mediation can help resolve conflicts between neighbors, landlords and tenants, family relationships, parenting time, workplace issues, etc.

Restorative practices include a variety of interventions that assist in repairing harm, restoring relationships, and renewing a shared sense of community.

Facilitated dialogues are facilitated by trained facilitators and are a series of dialogue-based services customized to help your group or community tackle difficult conversations constructively.

Training and skill building are available and includes mediation training, continuing education, and restorative justice.
