Dedicated to providing all individuals in Lancaster County the opportunity to access professional mediation services at an affordable cost, The Mediation Center was established in Lincoln in 1992 as a 501c(3) organization. 

 

One of six community mediation centers across the state of Nebraska, The Mediation Center is approved and regulated by the Nebraska Office of Dispute Resolution under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska Supreme Court.

 

Each year the Center serves hundreds of people whose lives are challenged by difficulties like poverty, violence, divorce, eviction, property violations, foster care placement, substance abuse, and much more. 

 

 

 

The Mediation Center is the only non-profit organization in the Lincoln
community where efforts are devoted exclusively to the resoltuion of conflict.

 

Mediators facilitate "difficult" conversations and can help when:

  • "It Works!" QuoteEmotions have become intense
  • There are multiple issues in dispute
  • Misperceptions are hindering productive exchanges
  • Communication between the disputing parties has deteriorated
  • The parties have been unable to resolve the dispute using other methods
