Washington Governor Jay Inslee made it official. October is Community Conflict Resolution Month in Washington! Thank you to everyone in our community, especially our volunteer mediators and staff, who help reduce conflict throughout our county and state.
Alternative dispute resolution works! As noted in the proclamation, residents of the state of Washington have access to community mediation centers to resolve conflicts between family members, neighbors, tenants, landlords, merchants, consumers, employees, employers, schools, civic organizations, and government agencies. We are proud that our work increases access to justice for traditionally underserved populations in King County, and we help people understand each other and improve communication everyday.
We thank Governor Inslee for recognizing October as Community Conflict Resolution Month. And we thank everyone in our community who assists in resolving conflicts through facilitation, conciliation, restorative practice, training, and mediation. You are promoting civility and increasing the quality of life for residents of King County. 2023ConflictResolutionMonthProclamation
