Mediation Information and Resource Center

A Mediation Information and Resource Center (MIRC) is a community organization that provides resources, guidance, and education about mediation—a process where a neutral third party helps resolve disputes between individuals or groups. MIRCs aim to promote peaceful conflict resolution outside of courts, making it easier and more affordable for people to settle disagreements related to family, neighbors, workplaces, or community issues. They offer information, training, and sometimes direct mediation services to facilitate understanding and encourage collaborative solutions, ultimately reducing legal costs and fostering harmonious relationships.
