At Community Mediation Services (CMS), we’ve been privileged to serve our communities for 30 years, helping people find compassionate ways to resolve their differences.

​

Each year, we support an average of 1,400 adults and 325 children, processing around 800 cases annually—a 20-25% increase since 2019. This shows that more and more community members are seeking peaceful, collaborative approaches to conflict resolution.

​

And mediation works!

• 70% of cases mediated reach an agreement.

• 87% of participants honor those agreements.
  But what’s even more inspiring is the ripple effect. Even when agreements aren’t reached, participants often share that mediation was their first meaningful, productive conversation with the other person—a powerful step toward resolution.

 

Your generosity makes all of this possible. Your donations help us provide life-changing mediation to those in conflict and crisis. Through your support, we can resolve housing insecurity by mediating landlord/tenant disputes, rebuild families by offering guidance in Child Protection and Guardianship cases, and assist parents as they navigate the challenges of divorce and co-parenting.  

​

We see firsthand the transformations that happen when people feel heard and supported. Families heal, communities grow stronger, and individuals find peace. This is the heart of what we do—and why we need your help to keep going.

With heartfelt thanks,
The CMS Team
