The work we do plays a critical role in supporting people in conflict. Our mediators help people listen to each other, and think together to make the decisions they need to move forward. Our mediators make a huge difference for couples with children who are separating or divorcing, with elders and their families facing challenging choices to address elder’s changing needs, and with many others who are mired in disputes.
