Welcome to Cheshire Mediation!


Cheshire Mediation is a private nonprofit organization established to offer a variety of mediation, conflict management and training services to families and organizations.

From the Director. "Conflict is often a messy, painful process. When people are hurt we often respond by hurting others, and the conflict and pain escalate.

"Cheshire Mediation is a community mediation center based in southern NH that has training and expertise in knowing how to intervene in these difficult situations. We work with families, organizations, and communities to help each party in a conflict better understand the pain of the other. Moreover, we work with parties to help them move forward in a more harmonious, less conflictual manner. While the specific type of our interventions vary widely (from mediating a family conflict to facilitating a meeting, to designing a training) what is constant is our work to help clients construct a more positive future.

"As a community mediation center we receive grants to provide some services to the local community at no charge. We also help families, organizations and communities deal with entrenched conflict on a fee for service basis. As a part of Monadnock Family Services, a community mental health facility, we have been helping people prepare for and resolve differences for the last eleven years. Let us know if you have a conflict we can help you with."

"I just wanted to write to you to let you know how much I enjoyed the Conflict resolution Training yesterday. You really did a wonderful job and I could really see that you are an expert in your field. You really got me thinking about the ways I approach (or avoid!) conflicts and you gave me the tools to do a better job. Thanks!" Rebecca Roy
