Benefits

Mediation is a way of helping people resolve conflicts by assisting them to reach mutually acceptable agreements.

The Benefits include

  • The Disputants resolve conflicts for themselves rather than having a judge decide for them
  • Mediation allows people to get what they want while enhancing rather than destroying their relationships.
  • The emotional cost for children of disputing parents is significantly reduced
  • Mediation is confidential and unlike the court system, details of disputants’ personal business do not become part of public domain
  • Mediation is far less expensive and less time consuming than litigation.

Mediation is also used to solve all kinds of problems, such as consumer complaints, divorce settlements, custody matters and issues that involve conflict in the workplace.

The Center provides Mediation and Conflict Resolution Services to:

  • Individuals
  • Couples
  • Magistrate and Family Court
  • Schools
  • Businesses
  • Community Groups
