Mediation helps participants hear each other in a different way than may have been possible without mediation. Our mediators support participants to create a constructive environment that allows them to talk with each other, to express their concerns, to listen, and to make decisions about their situation. Mediation can be between neighbors, youth, youth and parents, landlords and tenants, parents regarding visitation issues, family members, elders and their adult children, and business owners and customers.  This service is free for those that live, work or go to school in the City of Dayton, or were referred by a court.  See our Pricing Page for information on costs.
