OUR VISION A peaceful community where people routinely seek common ground. OUR MISSION We empower people to come together—to talk and to listen, to explore options, and to find their own best solutions. To achieve this mission, we offer mediation, facilitation, and training to strengthen the ability of diverse individuals and groups to resolve interpersonal conflicts and community issues. OUR VALUES • Communication We engage in thoughtful expression and active listening to help us better understand people and situations, build trust and rapport, and resolve differences. • Collaboration We believe that the most satisfying, creative, and lasting solutions are achieved when all parties participate in the process and mutually agree to the outcome. • Confidentiality We protect the privacy of those with whom we interact and are committed to maintaining confidential information, both personal and professional. • Courtesy We treat those with whom we interact with the utmost consideration and civility, fostering a safe environment and encouraging self-determination. • Competence We develop and maintain the skills needed to productively serve our clients and to provide high quality, affordable, and accessible services to the East Hawai‘i community.
