When calls come in to the Dispute Settlement Center, we hear distress but we listen for hope. Our clients are

seeking support for problem-solving in their interpersonal, work, or co-parenting relationships. They may want to learn new skills for improving their work teams, their congregations, or their neighborhoods.

Over 2400 people received such support and training this year, through mediation, facilitation, training and youth services. We saw special growth in our Restorative Justice work with youth, which seeks to heal the breach after a juvenile offense. As a parent said, “Your work meant my son could go back to school after the fight, having made his amends.”

Join us in this challenging work which seeks to preserve relationships through supporting parties to speak for themselves. You may donate with major credit cards at www.disputesettlement.org or send a check to DSC, 302 Weaver Street, Carrboro, NC 27510.

Call us or email us and tell us about your personal, family or workplace issue and how we might help. We welcome your your ideas for serving your community. Contact

fhenderson@ disputesettlement.org or call (919) 929-8800.
