Welcome To IMCR

The mission of the Institute for Mediation and Conflict Resolution is to transform conflict through conversation, by offering mediation and conflict resolution services and training in nonviolent principles and skills, which empower individuals to respond constructively to conflicts.

Conflict is about people. Aside from the techniques involved, breakthrough solutions are achieved through the experience, hard work and dedication of the individuals on our staff.
