What is Mediation?

Mediation is an opportunity to manage conflicts differently. With the help of mediators, you can discuss issues and talk about your concerns. In mediation, you — not the mediator — control the decisions and the outcome.

 

How Does Mediation Work?

Mediation brings people in conflict together in a comfortable and safe setting. The mediators help you talk to each other to clarify goals, gather information, and identify options. It is up to you to decide what will meet your needs as you manage the conflict. What is discussed with the mediators is kept private and confidential.

 

What are the Benefits of Mediation?

  • Mediation is convenient and free.
  • You make your own decisions about how to deal with the conflict.
  • Solutions that you arrive at will be far more satisfying and lasting than anything imposed upon you by others.
  • 85% of people who have used mediation feel that they have improved their situation

Calvert Thinks Local:

Envisioning A Sustainable Future


Once again CMC is partnering with the Calvert Library Prince Frederick and others to host a discussion series designed to encourage conversation and understanding among the members of Calvert’s diverse population. This discussion series, called Calvert Thinks Local comes on the heals of the very successful Civil Discourse for a Sustainable Calvert series and Voices of Calvert series.

Each discussion will begin with guest speakers who will share their own stories to stimulate and inspire an open discussion among participants.  The town meeting discussions will be held on October 7th, January 20th and March 3rd at 7:00 p.m. at the Calvert Library in Prince Fredeerick. Trained facilitators from CMCCC have volunteered their services to help ensure the discussion series is as successful as the Civil Discourse and Voices series.
