The Center for Dispute Resolution

The Center for Dispute Resolution provides services that help people take control of their lives. In a world where conflict often dictates distrust, stifles communication, and leads to costly and contentious legal remedies, we offer an alternative.

Our site offers several features, including information on our mediator training and customized workshops as well as an "Ask the Conflict Expert" form that allows you to get personalized answers to your toughest conflict questions.

We also have a section of links to legal information, which answers some common questions people ask when they call the Center. There is also a section of links to other conflict resolution resources and a variety of web sites devoted to conflict and mediation.

We also provide mediation referrals and offer specialized mediation services.

While you're here, be sure to check out the latest news on our upcoming events and training sessions.

Finally, if you have questions that this site doesn't answer, please call us at (417) 836-8831 or complete an information request form so we can send you the information you need.
