Cheshire Mediation Overview Cheshire Mediation Overview

Conflict is often a messy, painful process.  When we are hurt, we often respond by hurting others and the conflict and pain escalate.

Cheshire Mediation is a community mediation center with trained, professional negotiators who know how to intervene in these difficult situations. We work with families, organizations, and communities to help each party in a conflict better understand the pain of the other.  Moreover, we work with parties to help them move forward in a more harmonious, less conflicted manner.  While the specific type of interventions varies widely (from mediating a family conflict to facilitating a meeting to designing a training), what is constant is our patience, our positive approach, and our commitment to help clients construct a more positive future.


As a part of Monadnock Family Services, a community mental health facility, we have been helping people prepare for and resolve differences since 1999. Please contact us to discuss your situation and to learn how we can help.

Client Success Story

Dealing with Teenage Drinking

Jeff Drake, parent educator and a facilitator of guiding choices at Monadnock Family Services, responded to a column in The Keene Sentinel dealing with underage drinking issues. He commended The Sentinel for tackling this difficult issue and offered two concrete steps parents can take to solve the problem of underage drinking.

Ruth Recovered Her Life Through In SHAPE

I was suffering from depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia. Starting the In SHAPE program wasn’t easy for me, having to meet people at a certain time, go to a gym where there were a lot of other people, and discuss myself with a mentor. But my first mentor was a perfect match for me.
