Have an issue or experiencing conflict with your neighbor? Want it resolved?
We can help.
Mediation services offered by the Human Relations Commission are:

During a mediation, two trained facilitators will assist you and your neighbor in a conversation about relevant concerns and will aim to develop mutually beneficial solutions.

Mediation is a conversation between two or more people that disagree, led by a trained, neutral mediator. Mediation is a less expensive, time-saving alternative to court. In mediation the disputing parties have the chance to settle their differences in a safe, confidential and efficient manner. Mediation helps people get what they need, whether it’s peace and quiet, family unity, a financial settlement, or just a chance to be heard.
-
For a successful mediation, everyone involved must be:
Agreeable to participate, including meeting for in-person conversations with one another
Open-minded
Respectful
Solution oriented
Remember: Mediation is not a legal service and is not designed to address immediate safety concerns.
