Concord Mediation Center

Our Mission

Concord Mediation Center creates pathways of constructive dialogue and conflict resolution through consensus building activities of mediation, facilitation and education.

Testimonials

One of the most surprising aspects of mediation has to be the emotion levels to which we as mediators must facilitate. They are powerful and at times overwhelming. More surprising is that in these situations, even after portraying a strict unwillingness to do so initially, the parties often create their own acceptable agreement.

Why Mediation Works

Conflict happens. When individuals cannot agree, relationships suffer. When co-workers won’t cooperate, productivity plummets. When strife occurs in the community, progress stalls. Mediation enables parties to enter a dialogue that is focused and productive. Mediation provides a process for positive change by diffusing emotions and exploring options in order to resolve conflict. Read More...
