Community Mediation Maryland’s vision is for every Maryland citizen to have awareness of and access to an affordable, high quality community mediation service.   CMM advances community mediation in Maryland through educating the public, training, networking, research and creating new centers.

Community Mediation Maryland's Performance-Based Evaluation Process is now a REALITY!

The performance-based evaluation process is offered in the full knowledge and celebration of the fact that becoming an excellent mediator is a process and a journey, not an event. Mediator certification is one part of a continuum of education offered statewide by Community Mediation Maryland and locally by its member community mediation centers. This education spectrum includes a high-quality, interactive, skills-based basic mediator training, thoughtful apprenticeships, co-mediator feedback after every mediation session, strategy sessions, bi-monthly in-service trainings for mediators, quarterly mediation role-play days, and a statewide mentoring project, among other resources. This important and constant focus on mediator quality is a reflection of the desire to put the needs of mediation participants first, offering only the most ethical, skillful service to our friends and neighbors who use community mediation services in Maryland.
