ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

          Mediation and conflict resolution are among the most effective methods of permanently resolving disputes. The Center for Community Justice has developed several conflict resolution programs to give families, members of the business community, and youth a forum to work through disputed issues, and resolve problems peacefully.

Community Mediation:  Gives businesses, organizations, and individuals a voluntary and confidential conflict resolution forum.

Divorce and Separation Mediation: Allows couples ending their marriages the opportunity to resolve parenting, custody and divorce issues with the guidance of a trained mediator.

Family Mediation: A child-centered forum for the creation of parenting plans to help resolve visitation, custody, child support disputes, as well as parent/teen conflicts.

Permanency Mediation: A collaborative approach to addressing the needs of children in the child welfare system.

Peer Mediation: Provides students and faculty at Schenectady City schools with training in mediation and communication skills in order to help them resolve problems confidentially and peacefully.
