In addition to providing direct mediation and dispute resolution services, the MCP is a critical resource for creating innovative dispute resolution trainings and programs for Hawaii’s courts, schools, businesses, and communities. Through these trainings and programs, more people have the opportunity to work through their conflicts and avoid a legal or administrative proceeding.

The many opportunities provided by the MCP to prevent and resolve disputes quickly and affordably through culturally sensitive processes are a vital resource for Hawaii’s residents.

Many people have pledged to choose mediation first when resolving a conflict. You can join them by adding your signature to the Mediation Pledge and find others who have also agreed to accessing mediation first.
