mediation offerings

mediating disputes

in our mediations, at civitas, we hold space as non-judgmental, objective, and compassionate third-party to support parties in dispute with each other, to arrive at a lasting solution that centers the agency of both sides. we care deeply about sustaining relationships and building community, and approach mediation with a transformative mindset. we use joint and private sessions to steer the journey from conflict through healing and repair to transformation.

community mediation

as community mediators, we rely on methods of dispute resolution that are co-created with the community, to interrogate power dynamics, hold space as they advocate for their needs, support them as they make their own decisions, and facilitate processes as they build meaningful approaches for accountability for their actions and decisions. we work with the collective and center practices and approaches that emerge from the collective.
