Mediation is a conversation between two or more people that disagree, led by a trained, neutral mediator. Mediation is a less expensive, time-saving alternative to court. In mediation the disputing parties have the chance to settle their differences in a safe, confidential and efficient manner.
Mediation helps people get what they need, whether it’s peace and quiet, family unity, a financial settlement, or just a chance to be heard. Our mediators include staff members and community volunteers who are professionally trained and committed to promoting peace in our communities.
New York Peace Institute is a not-for-profit agency. Our professionally trained mediators are volunteers and our services are provided cost-free to New York City residents in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
