The Mediation Center offers an affordable opportunity for any individual or family struggling with conflict, either in or outside of court, whether they have an attorney, or are unrepresented, to meet and work with a professionally trained neutral to resolve their conflict, without enduring further time, expense and financial and emotional stress of proceeding forward in the court system. The AAA-ICDR Foundation funding enabled The Mediation Center in Tennessee to create this video highlighting the use and importance of community mediation.
