Community Mediation is a dispute resolution process designed for Albuquerque citizens and neighbors to resolve conflict and disputes within their own community.

Mediators, or impartial third parties, assist individuals in finding a mutually acceptable solution to their problem. Mediators do not blame, judge who is right or wrong, or make decisions about what should happen. In mediation you are responsible for the outcome.

Mediation provides an opportunity to express differences and improve relationships by:

1. Reducing communication obstacles in order to define and clarify issues;
2. Explore possible solutions; and
3. Create solutions that reflect the unique needs and interests of the situation.
