Mediation Services

Mediation Services (MS) consists of four programs. Namely:

- (1) community mediation
- (2) family mediation
- (3) restorative justice diversion
- (4) training

Under community mediation, MS offers neutral, third-party support for families, neighbours and non-profit workplaces in addressing challenges in relationships using the principles of restorative justice.

Under family mediation, MS provides conflict engagement coaching and mediation between separated/ divorced partners and helps them to make decisions that are best for themselves and their children.

Under restorative justice diversion MS receives between 300 – 500 court referrals from the crown and Winnipeg Police. MS facilitates the coming together of the person who did harm and the person who experienced harm using restorative principles to address harm and restore relationships.

Finally, the training pillar of MS acts as a social enterprise and supports conflict engagement and mediation skill-building as well as practise opportunities and coaching for individuals and groups.
