Lately we have been very busy in the mediation services area. We have been helping many individuals and families in Hampton Roads resolve their conflicts. We have been working very hard to make mediation available for individuals who have criminal disputes with each other. Ideally the ones who will benefit most from our services have misdemeanor complaints against each other and both are looking at fines and possibly jail time/community service for an incident that started as a neighborhood dispute. Most of our mediations recently have ended with resolutions between people. We even had a seven hour mediation the other weekend that helped resolve a 28-year old dispute! We were very proud of our volunteer mediators Cecile Davis and Charles Broadfield. It definitely will become one of our legendary mediations.
