Our organization continues to evolve following its first 20 years as a CDRC. We continue to expand our facilitation and education services through a combination of new and improved programs designed to reach a broad range of audiences, while addressing an ever growing number of issues and circumstances. During 2017, three statistics serve to highlight the impact of our work. Our pre-trial mediation program in support of Deschutes County Justice Court achieved a 70% success rate. That means that more than 150 people resolved their disputes out of court with the help of our neutral, third party mediators. Also, our home foreclosure avoidance program - in partnership with local at-risk homeowners and a Nationwide network of mortgage lenders - produced 30+ agreements. That means that several families remained in their homes and that $10,000,000 in home values were saved as a result of our trained facilitators' efforts. And let's not forget the many families in need of divorce or separation assistance, especially when children are involved. Our co-mediators (one man, one woman working together as a team) reached an incredible 90% agreement success rate last year. That means that most family disputes, once filed in Circuit Court, were done so either non-contested or jointly through co-petition. Together, our work during 2017 sets a high standard for this and subsequent years. As life always involves some form of conflict, we're sure to remain as busy as ever.
