These programs include the School Peer Mediation Program, the Culture of Peace Program, and the Conflict Intervention Team. The NJC helps residents of Clark County resolve conflicts at no cost through a comprehensive information and referral program and through mediation services. The NJC will not mediate problems that cannot be settled through negotiation, matters involving violent activity, and those in which one of the parties refuses to willingly participate. Mediation is a process that assists disputing parties to resolve their differences and reach a mutually satisfactory agreement with the help of a trained, neutral third party. This service is available to all citizens of Clark County regardless of income.
Mediation is cost-effective and faster than litigation.
It is also a personalized process which allows for an in-depth discussion of issues. The outcome is controlled by the parties, and all mediations are private and confidential.
