Description
Mediation Services of North Central MA, Inc. is a private non-profit organization founded in 1988 to provide mediation services in Fitchburg District Court, now we provide a broad range of conflict resolution services including: mediation, facilitation, and conflict coaching services, and trainings in positive communication and problem solving to communities throughout North Central Massachusetts, including four District Courts. Since 2002, MSI has also been working with schools in various communities in our service area to develop and coordinate peer mediation programs, conflict resolution and anger management trainings for both students and staff as part, their Safer Schools Initiatives and Social and Emotional Learning Programming. Part of our work with youth includes the development of a Youth Ambassador for Conflict Resolution summer program for area middle and high school students and assisting with conflict resolution workshops at local junior police academies. We are also part of state-wide programs for housing mediation that assists landlords and tenants in having conversations to avoid eviction proceedings; as well as re-entry mediation program to assist formerly incarcerated people in re-joining the community and their family, which can help to reduce recidivism.
