The Week Ahead…. And Capitol Hill Resident Offers Free Mediation Service

by Larry Janezich

Capitol Hill Resident Sig Cohen Offers Fee Mediation Service to Resolve Disputes.

“At a time when the political scene appears polarized over healthcare, gun safety, women’s reproductive rights, and climate change, among other issues, our Capitol Hill community seems like an oasis, where on the surface, at least, calm prevails. Not always. Living here, I have witnessed minor differences escalate into toxic disputes.

If you are in a dispute, I invite you to try mediation.  Until we have an online form, email chmediate@aol.com with your name, contact information, and the issue(s) that you think need facilitation or mediation.  Also provide the name(s) of the other party and whether they agree to engage in either facilitation or mediation.”  –  Sig Cohen.   For more info, see Hill Rag article here:  http://bit.ly/2it5r9H
