The Dayton Mediation Center Supports People in Conflict
The Dayton Mediation Center was established in 1987 to improve quality of life for the Dayton Community and ease the impact of community conflicts on public resources. Created by the City of Dayton, the Center is one of the oldest and most robust mediation centers in the country, supporting community members to engage conflict constructively. ​The Dayton Mediation Center intervenes in thousands of conflicts annually. The Center’s services are free to those who live or work in the City and are used by residents, tenants and landlords, workplaces, schools, neighborhood organizations, law enforcement agencies and court systems.
Trained professional conflict intervention specialists are ready to help you
When people are challenged by conflict, communicating their needs, concerns and goals is difficult. People do not have a sense of being heard or understood. In addition, conflict can be emotional and cloud the situation making it difficult to address.
​
The Dayton Mediation Center offers intervention support that can help individuals effectively manage the negative, destructive, alienating and dehumanizing interactions that occur during conflict. Our intervention experts are skilled at supporting your decision making throughout the process as you address the conflict, giving you the opportunity to gain peace of mind.

"The National Association for Community Mediation (NAFCM) has benefited by the leadership provided by the Dayton Mediation Center both through their individual service on the NAFCM Board and committees, as well as their presence in the greater Dayton community since the creation of NAFCM in 1994."
