We provide personalized assistance and support, while offering relevant information and recommending referrals to other resources when needed.
Circumstances will determine whether your issue is appropriate for our Neighborhood Mediation Program or our Professional Conflict Resolution Services. When you contact us to discuss your issue, we’ll explain which approach best meets your situation.
