The Community Action Partnership Dispute Resolution Program provides the community with Basic Mediation Training, Peer Mediation Training, Conflict Resolution workshops, and Community Mediation Services.
SERVICES
Community Mediation Service: Mediation is a process through which disputants work together with a Certified Mediator to arrive at a mutually acceptable agreement with regard to a dispute. The purpose of Mediation is to settle disputes, not to assign blame, fault nor legally represent either party. Mediation handles a variety of disputes including, but not limited to landlord/tenant disputes, merchant/consumer disputes, neighbor/neighbor disputes, debt consolidation, and small business disputes. Mediation saves money, time, and allows a workable relationship; whereas, the court procedure is time consuming, expensive, and places the parties in adversarial positions.
