Center for Dispute Settlement
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Rochester, New York 135 followers
Building resilient communities by helping individuals and groups peacefully resolve conflict.
About us
Mediation can bring our families and communities closer together. Our CONFIDENTIAL and AFFORDABLE mediation sessions will help bring those at odds together in a safe, comfortable and neutral setting. The Center was created on the premise that community mediation centers are and should be different from traditional providers of alternative dispute resolution services. In recognition of this difference, the agency’s primary focus is on interpersonal, minor criminal, civil disputes and quality of life issues that impact families and communities.
