What is Mediation?
Mediation is a process that brings people together to clarify issues, discuss options and, if possible, reach an agreement. It is an alternative to non-resolution or costly legal measures.
Mediation is voluntary and confidential. If an agreement is not reached, people can still take their case to court if they wish. To learn more about the mediation services offered by CMUS, click here. |

CMUS works with families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members to help them resolve conflicts. Our services are offered free of charge for participants, while private services of this kind can cost upwards of $200 per hour. CMUS served more than 95 families in 2021, and in early 2020 had been on track to serve 175 families. In 2021, CMUS mediated a variety of family matters—parents in recovery, co-parents making schedules for sharing time with their children, partners seeking reconciliation, grandparents raising their grandchildren, among many others. We also provided mediation for a variety of community conflicts for landlords/tenants, neighbors, co-workers, businesses/consumers, and more. Our community members were able to utilize our services both in and out of court. With your support, we will expand our presence and partnership within our greater community and aspire to serve at least 150 families in the coming year. |
