Community Mediation Request

The City of Overland Park provides a free Community Mediation Program to all Overland Park community members.

Mediation is a voluntary process where two or more parties sit down and work through problems with the assistance of an independent, neutral mediator. Mediation gives people in conflict an opportunity to take responsibility for resolution of their dispute and control of the outcome.

A mediator guides participants through difficult conversations, providing a safe environment to confidentially discuss any issues, and the parties decide together how they will resolve their differences. The decision-making rests with the parties involved; the mediator does not make decisions or recommendations.
