Community Mediation

Trained volunteers and staff offer safe, neutral and voluntary mediations, in English or Spanish, for a variety of neighbor, work and family disputes. Mediation is an alternative to court or other proceedings. We do not provide legal advice. Eldercare Mediations now available.

(520) 323-1708 x 504 or mediation@ourfamilyservices.org

To see if mediation is right for your dispute, call us at 323-1708 x 504. A specialist will explain the process and will contact the other party to explain the benefits of mediation. If all parties are willing, we schedule the mediation. Mediations can be scheduled Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at our main office, 3830 E. Bellevue St. (near Speedway and Alvernon.)
