Mediation Services: A Community Resource for Conflict Resolution

Our mission is to help individuals, organizations, and government agencies by promoting, educating and facilitating effective responses to conflict. Mediation Services launched in 1979 as a project of Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba in response to a concern both for people victimized by crime and for the high number of people being incarcerated in Canada. In 1992, we amalgamated with the Community Dispute Centre to become Mediation Services: A Community Resource for Conflict Resolution. We have three areas of work: 1. Restorative Action Centre - works to mediate cases coming from court referrals 2. Community Resolution Centre - works to mediate conflicts in the community (neighbors, families, workplace, etc.) 3. Resolution Skills Centre - facilitates training in conflict resolution and mediation We rely on volunteers to facilitate mediations and we make training and personal development a priority. The organization, through its services and interactions with others, believes in a holistic approach. Our values: - We question and learn from each other as we strive for excellence in the skills and knowledge we practice and teach. - We provide services with integrity and respect, giving exceptional leadership in the areas of conflict resolution and justice. - We demonstrate a culture of self-awareness, reflection and mindfulness and hold one another accountable.
