*At Your Service*

*Free Dispute Resolution Help for Families, Individuals, and Businesses*

mediate [ [link removed] ]

There is help available for County residents dealing with a dispute. The Los Angeles County Dispute Resolution Program (LADRP) [ [link removed] ] has provided free dispute resolution services to families, individuals and businesses for more than 30 years in a friendly, confidential, accessible, and no-cost manner.

A decision by a court judgment usually ends up with a winning party and a losing party. Mediation, an alternative method of resolving disputes, supports parties in the tailoring of agreements that mutually meet participants needs and interests. The aid of a skilled and neutral mediator promotes communication by guiding conversations that help parties identify issues, find points of agreement, reduce misunderstandings, and explore areas of compromise.

LADRP is made up of nine dispute resolution organizations, each having their unique services, languages, and cultural capacities. You can find more information about them HERE. [ [link removed] ]

Kickstarter aims to address and alleviate historic food insecurity further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) populations, low to moderate income individuals and families, and those living in County-identified Target Communities.?
