A NEW DIRECTION FOR CHESHIRE MEDIATION
After 15 years within Monadnock Family Services, Cheshire Mediation becomes an independent, privately run entity on October 1, 2011. Adriana Elliot, current Director of Cheshire Mediation, will continue to direct and develop the program in her office at the Hannah Grimes Center for Entrepreneurship, at 25 Roxbury Street in Keene. Those in need of mediation services may contact the new Cheshire Mediation offices directly for further information.

WHY IS CHESHIRE MEDIATION LEAVING MFS?
With the evaporation of public funding for mediation services, and a recent restructure of the Court Mediation funding stream, it is simply no longer feasible for MFS to operate a not-for-profit community mediation program. However, Cheshire Mediation provides a vital community service with 15 years of history in our region. Ms. Elliot is honored to be entrusted with its future, and Robert Rooney, CEO of MFS, is pleased that Cheshire Mediation will continue to serve the Monadnock region.
Ms. Elliot started at MFS four years ago as a trainee, intern, and eventually a part-time employee. She trained with former Cheshire Mediation Director Greg Hessel, and local mediators Olivia Ruel and Greg Martin. She is a NH Certified Family Mediator, a Justice of the Peace, a member of the board of the New Hamsphire Conflict Resolution Association, and is exploring opportunities for collaboration with area mediators and related services organizations.
WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is a private process, facilitated by a neutral third party, that allows people in conflict to work through their differences in constructive ways. Rather than handing decision-making over to the courts, participants in mediation construct their own informed, fair and durable agreements. This allows them to reach decisions that are tailored to their individual needs, and avoid the excessive costs and emotional stress of litigation, whenever possible.
Cheshire Mediation offers confidential mediation services for family, business and community disputes.
