“No one is immune to conflict, but often we don’t know what to do when confronted with a difficult situation,” said Mia Bowers, Executive Director of Community Mediation of St. Mary’s County. “We are here to provide support for individuals, families, or groups at any stage of conflict. There are no issues too big or too small.”
“Conflicts can hinder a person’s relationships and success in life, including their ability to maintain good health,” said Dr. Meena Brewster, St. Mary’s County Health Officer. “Conflict resolution training and mediation services decrease stress, support healthy relationships, prevent violence, and allow people to focus more on their health.”
