Individual mediation services are available on an as needed basis for family mediation, civil mediation, workplace mediation and community mediation. Unlike litigation, mediation is a private and confidential process that provides individuals with the opportunity for change and creative problem-solving where the individuals have the decision-making authority and NOT a judge or a jury. Ms. Jones is also available to conduct Conflict Resolution Training and Consulting for various civic, corporate, governmental, educational and religious organizations. Ms. Jones has a passion to work with married couples and individuals seeking to resolve conflict peacefully. The birth of Peaceful Solutions, LLC began in 2005 when Ms. Jones used the scripture Matthew 5:9 to pay tribute to her late father. Since that time Peaceful Solutions, LLC has been evolving into fruition.
