When those in conflict are open to hearing each other out, parties can find common ground, settle conflicts and develop practical and permanent solutions. Sometimes a neutral third party is helpful in facilitating the discussion. Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership offers three conflict resolution programs: Community Conversations, Facilitated Conversations and Restorative Community Mediation.
