The Community Mediation Center provides a variety of mediation services to the residents of Calvert County. We also partner with St. Mary's and Charles County and refer cases to them as appropriate.
Mediators assist individuals with a wide range of issues, including family and neighborhood conflicts, landlord-tenant issues, group and organizational conflicts and family care decisions for elderly adults.
Mediators provide an alternative dispute resolution service to individuals participating in District Court cases. They assist in diverse legal actions, including unsatisfactory services, unpaid accounts, return of deposits and claims for damages.
Specially trained mediators help mediate discrimination complaints brought through the Equal Opportunity Commission and the MCHR. Participants have the opportunity to converse and seek common understanding. Those who are able to do so may avoid many months of investigative process and potential court action.
Upon referral from the Circuit Court Family Services Coordinators in Calvert, St. Mary’s and Charles Counties, specially trained mediators help parents, children, Department of Social Services (DSS) representatives and their respective attorneys have constructive conversations in support of family and foster care issues, permanency planning and termination of parental rights (TPR).
In addition to offering free mediation services, we also offer facilitation services to businesses, organizations and agencies to help them build stonger teams and work together more effectively. |
