Mediation changes lives when people in conflict learn to use positive communication.

Mediation offers alternatives to violence, frustration, anger, retribution and fear.

Sumner Mediation Services is committed to educating the public about mediation and making mediation accessible to the community.

Some actual comments made by our mediation participants:

“I learned how what I did affected the victim.  I did not realize this before.”

“I did not want to live with anger about something that I found out we could
fix.”

“I am very satisfied that both sides were able to discuss their views in a
civil manner.”

“I did not expect to feel differently but I feel good about what was
accomplished and how this has been resolved.”

“I feel the mediation has prevented a reoccurrence.”

“I feel so much better.”
