Mediation is a voluntary, confidential way of solving disagreements, conflicts, or disputes.
A mediator meets with the people involved in the disagreement or conflict and assists the parties in developing an agreement that is acceptable to everyone. Rather than placing blame, mediation helps find solutions. We can provide mediation services if you are having a disagreement with a person, company or agency. If you are a resident of South Bend or Mishawaka, we may be able to train you to become a volunteer mediator, at no cost to you. To ensure that it will best serve the needs of South Bend and Mishawaka residents, the Neighborhood Mediation Project functions in cooperation with the Neighborhood Partnership Centers and other community organizations.
