Your mediator skillfully provided a framework in which the opposing parties could safely express their views, frustrations, anger, fears, sorrows.

Because of the Mediation Center, my stressful situation was made bearable. The staff and mediator made me feel comfortable during a difficult time.

I feel good knowing that I have access to this type of help right in my community.

The staff at the Mediation Center did a great job demonstrating to our Managers about effective communication, different styles of communication and barriers that block sound communication attempts.

It still is pretty amazing to me how even in the role plays, that you experience why the transformative model works.
