As “drop-in” events, we invite you to come any time during the posted hours to hear a brief presentation on “The Neurobiology of Conflict,” or to sit down privately with Center for Community Dialogue mediators to discuss tense situations, disagreements, or tough conversations you need to have.

Having been a practicing attorney (and also a trained mediator) I encourage people to resolve their differences and disputes — peacefully and civilly. Listening to Small Claims cases for over 12 years now, has also taught me to realize the intensity and necessity of dispute resolution, especially before it turns to violence.
October is also D.V. Awareness month. See my previous post: https://blogforarizona.net/domestic-violence-awareness-month-paint-pima-purple/
My daughter could use a mediation for her mixed family. How do you go about it? Does it cost much?
These sesssions are being offered for free at the libraries/ward offices. One still on Monday at Ward 6 office. Or go to their website: http://www.ourfamilyservices.org/programs/center.html
