Calm

The mission of CALM, The Community Problem-Solving Program of Frederick is to provide conflict resolution education and services to all Frederick county residents. Mediation is a confidential, neutral and voluntary process. Mediation is a self-determining process in that mediators will not make decisions for participants, mediators will help partic... ipants have a conversation around how to resolve the conflict. Mediation participants will chose their own solutions. CALM is here to help you have difficult conversations to resolve conflict in businesses, churches, families, between friends, landlord/tenants, communities, neighborhoods and workplaces - where ever there is conflict. CALM offers mediation services to all Frederick County residents by charging a flat rate fee of $40.00 per 2-hour session or for free depending upon a participant's income. CALM offers conflict resolution and anger management, mediation trainings, and outreach presentations to the Frederick community. All CALM mediators have been trained as mediators in accordance with Maryland Rules 17. Our center uses a co-mediation model where two mediators help facilitate your conversation. We provide mediators from a variety of frameworks practiced within the state.
