Helping People Reach Agreement

Mediation can be an alternative to court. It is a process in which a trained volunteer facilitator (or mediator) helps people listen to each other, discuss issues, and find agreement. The mediator does not impose a solution: he or she simply creates an environment in which the parties can talk with each other so that they find their own solution. Mediation is set up to find common ground and to
help the parties collaborate to find a win-win solution.

Mediation can be used for many types of disagreements, including:
• Family differences
• Disagreements between neighbors
• Property damage
• Business and contract disputes
• Special education concerns
• Landlord-tenant issues
• and much more.
