Whereas, conflict is a part of our daily lives and the necessity to access non-adversarial
forms of conflict resolution is essential; and
Whereas, enhancing communication skills through conflict resolution and mediation
training increases the usage of alternative dispute resolution within the community; and
Whereas, using formal court proceedings to resolve disputes can be costly and time
consuming and may not result in a win-win solution to all parties involved; and
Whereas,alternative dispute resolution serves as a valuable alternative to the court system
because it empowers individuals to develop their own creative solutions in a way that is
peaceful and cost effective; and
Whereas, mediation facilitates and enhances the development of relationships within the
community by increasing the community's accessibility to problem-solving skills; and
Whereas, the Center for Human Development's Conflict Resolution Panels and the
California Community Dispute Services program have unique histories of embracing conflict
and facilitating new and creative solutions to problems; and
Whereas, the Center for Human Development's Conflict Resolution Panels and the
California Community Dispute Services program seeks to educate the community at large
about the power of relationship building, so that people of all ages can transcend barriers,
improve communication, and tackle any conflict at hand; and
