Mission Statement: We believe the people living in Putnam County deserve a peaceful, safe environment in which to work, learn, play, and raise families. We also believe that there are peaceful means to resolve disagreements and disputes. To this end, Mediation Services of Putnam County works to provide services for the peaceful resolution of disputes/disagreements and the reduction of cases in the court system.
Mediation is a peaceful way for people to resolve a conflict. Trained volunteers or staff meet with you privately and help you decide how to resolve the situation. Mediation is a peaceful alternative to taking out a warrant or letting problems get worse at school, home, work, or in the community. Mediation is one of several forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Find out more about mediation.

When is Mediation Helpful?
Mediation is helpful when a conflict has not been able to be resolved. Although conflict is a normal part of life, sometimes we need help finding solutions. Mediation works when the people involved want the situation resolved and agree to participate. Situations are screened, but have included personal misunderstandings, theft, vandalism, fights, harassment, etc.
