Center for Mediation & Collaboration

CMCRI’s mission is to provide Rhode Island with a safe, accessible and confidential environment where people and organizations can engage in constructive dialogue, effectively manage conflicts and resolve disputes. To this end, we help develop better listening, communication and collaboration skills that result in improved personal and professional relationships. CMCRI offers mediation, group facilitation, conflict coaching, dispute systems design, consulting and training services to individuals, families, governmental bodies and both for-profit and non-profit corporations throughout the State of Rhode Island. Our diverse, highly trained, experienced staff and community volunteers enable us to offer high quality and affordable services. In providing these services, we embrace the following principles: - Diversity and inclusiveness leads to more positive and enduring results; - Self-determination is a fundamental human right and empowering individuals to craft their own solutions is an essential element of effective conflict and decision-making; - Building capacity in the community so that people can prevent and resolve conflict in their own lives is essential for preventing violence as well as finding and implementing positive and effective change; and - Participation - in our own disputes; in decisions that affect our lives; in our local and national civic infrastructure – is part of our birthright as Americans and as human beings.
