What We Do


We help families and individuals manage conflict.

We help parents navigate parenting plans and separation; we help landlords and tenants keep families in their homes; we help lending institutions find solutions with families facing foreclosure; we help workers and managers navigate conflict in the workplace; we help youth offenders reconcile with those they have hurt; we help small claims disputants avoid court costs…

Most importantly, we help ordinary people find their own solutions that result in peaceful outcomes. We provide a viable option to litigation which saved the court system $690,000 last year.
