Juvenile Diversion Program
The Dayton Mediation Center partners with the Montgomery County Juvenile Court, allowing young people who have been charged with a variety of offenses to be referred to mediation. If the defendant and the complainant both agree to participate in mediation and reach an agreement, the case is dismissed by the Juvenile Court with no further action taken against the juvenile offender.
Scheduling a Mediation
Families who are eligible for this program will be contacted by the Mediation Center through the phone or mail. Once contacted, families have a conversation with a case manager to discuss services and schedule mediation or a Community Impact Panel. A mediation specialist will listen to your concerns and answer your questions. Staff will work with everyone involved to find an agreeable time and date for your mediation.
