Click here for a map to the Lancaster Mediation Center Mediation at the Lancaster Mediation Center is a process in which impartial mediators help people in a dispute to think clearly and effectively about their own needs and to communicate with others in the dispute in a safe and confidential setting. The mediators' goal is to help each person in the dispute make their own decisions about what to do and how to resolve the disagreement. People come to the Center because they have an important dispute and have not been able to resolve it themselves. Our professionally trained mediators respect the importance of their clients' decisions and work hard to assist all involved to settle the dispute to their own satisfaction. Our Mission Statement: We promote peaceful conflict resolution through mediation and training.
