Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of The Mediation Center is to create opportunity from conflict.
During the 2018-2019 fiscal year, the Mediation Center provided three major programs: The Family Visitation Program, Community and Family Mediation, and Youth Mediation. Programs are designed to help community members find common ground and a way to move through difficult and stressful conflict. Mediation, visitation, and conflict resolution skills training create a safer and more peaceful community for everyone. The Family Visitation Program provides supervised visitation and safe child exchange to families with a history of domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health concerns, child maltreatment, and child abduction risk. Last year, the program provided 918 supervised visits and safe child exchanges to 70 families in Buncombe and Henderson Counties. All visits and exchanges were free from violence, abuse and maltreatment.
The Community and Family Mediation program provided conflict resolution services to 501 people, more than 75% of whom resolved their conflict in mediation. Conflict included neighbor disputes, organizational conflicts, prison re-entry, and Medicaid appeals.
The Youth Mediation program provided mediation and conflict resolution skills training to 275 youth who were court-involved or at-risk of court involvement. Participants learned new skills in communication, anger control, moral reasoning, and/or conflict response. More than 85% of participating youth who were involved in the juvenile court system had no new court involvement within 12 months.
