Mediation of Complaints
After the discrimination charge is taken, the complainant and the respondent are given the option to participate in a Mediation session, wherein an attempt at a mutually agreed upon settlement is made prior to an investigation. This agreement is a "no-fault" agreement, in which terms and conditions of a settlement are negotiated between the complainant and the respondent, and in which the respondent does not admit violations of the law and the complainant agrees not to file suit against the respondent based on the same issues.
If either party chooses not to participate or the parties cannot agree to a resolution, an investigation is conducted.

These services are provided free of charge. If you are interested in receiving training, please contact us at (505) 827-6838 or use our online request form
