Meet CMC We work things out. Nearly 90% of the people the Community Mediation Center works with say that, as a result of our mediation services, they reach some form of agreement. People benefit when they are not tied up in lengthy, stressful and costly fights or court battles.
We give people power. In follow-up surveys, nearly 75% say that CMC mediation services gave them a sense of control. In times of crisis and stress, people feel overwhelmed and stuck, or out of control; CMC Mediation is the best process to get clear about the issues and make good decisions.
We deliver effective training. In addition to recognized training for mediator certification, the Community Mediation Center offers specialized training for business and organizational settings.
Mission Statement The Community Mediation Center in Harrisonburg provides regional leadership in dispute resolution and restorative justice services and training.
