Mediation

Overview

Community-based mediation is a structured, confidential, and voluntary process in which people involved in a dispute sit down with a neutral third party and attempt to resolve their conflict. Mediation, as practiced in places like the Crown Heights Community Mediation Center, can provide a positive, non-adversarial way to solve conflicts. A mediator does not offer solutions, but instead facilitates an open discussion in which both sides present their views.
