Community Solutions of Central Oregon was founded in 1998 as a private non-profit organization focused on productive communication and sustainable resolution of conflict for Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook Counties.
The need for dispute resolution throughout Central Oregon has never been greater. With ever increasing growth in our region and continued uncertainty surrounding the ongoing health crisis, increased numbers of community, business, housing, and family disputes surface daily.
Mission - Helping people have difficult conversations.
Our Mission statement serves as a compass, knowing that, in helping people confront challenges, we most likely will always start by guiding them through difficult, sometimes painful conversations few want to have. However, we know that confronting conflict is the first and most important part of the mediation effort, only after which can solutions be created and agreements be reached.
Vision - Transforming communities through communication.
Our Vision statement is meant to remind us that improvements in interpersonal communications can have an expansive impact on issues and events shaping the many communities that make up Central Oregon. Our staff and mediators strive to help people articulate just what it is that, from their perspective, is contributing to disagreement and conflict.
