It’s Women’s History Month! As MV Mediation is also celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year, we are putting a spotlight on some of the amazing women who have contributed to MV Mediation’s history of service to the island community.
Featured Service: Productive Conversations and Elderly & Aging Mediation
“Mediation gave me a voice . . . I was able to speak for myself in an environment where my family was encouraged to try to come up with positive constructive solutions that everyone could buy into. We were able to listen to each other instead of just reacting as we have for so many years.” This sentiment is shared by many participants who avail themselves of elderly mediation and productive conversations services.
RE-ENTRY PROGRAM: Making the Transition from Incarceration to Community Easier
Re-entry mediation is an opportunity to make plans for the future. These mediation sessions can include up to three people––the individual’s family, friends, workplace associates, fellow church members, etc. Participants should be individuals who are important to the person who is or was incarcerated and who would benefit from a conversation in a neutral and safe setting. All cases are confidential.
Youth on Martha's Vineyard
This month we joined seven other island organizations at the Teen Health Fair organized by the Island Wide Youth Collaborative. We were grateful to have conflict resolution skills included in the greater context of what it means to be healthy. We also recruited a few teens for our next Peer Mediation training!
