Equal Access to Justice Mediation Program

Restorative Justice Mediation Programs

Edwin Hubbel Chappin is quoted as stating, “The essence of justice is mercy.” TAC takes that analysis a bit further in that the essence of justice is mercy - mercy for the victim and mercy for the offender. Unlike traditional justice programs that primarily focus on punishment and/or correction, TAC’s restorative justice programs emphasize repairing the harm in a way that fosters restoration between the individuals and communities involved. Trained mediators facilitate a structured dialogue between the victim, the offender and the various community leaders and state agencies that allow the offenders to take responsibility for the harm caused to the victims and their communities through dialogues and negotiations that allow the participants to work together to develop a mutually agreeable and beneficial plan that repairs the harm; this may involve restitution, community service, an apology or other forms of reparation, such as follow-up meetings, support, and the like.

TAC's process of restorative justice in mediation is used in dependency courts, criminal court, veterans courts, drug courts, and mental health courts. Overall, the goal of TAC’s restorative justice programs is to promote healing, reconciliation and accountability while reducing the likelihood of future harm, promoting a sense of peace and justice for all involved.

In honor of TAC's favorite Veteran, all veteran's court services are pro-bono.

Family and Faith-Based Conflict Resolution

TAC's Family and Faith-Based Conflict Resolution program offers practical tools and strategies for resolving conflicts within families, churches, and faith-based workplaces and nonprofits. Drawing upon faith-based teachings on forgiveness, reconciliation, and peacemaking, participants learn constructive ways to address disagreements, restore broken relationships, and promote unity in a safe environment according to their chosen faith whether online or in-person.

TAC's mediators are specifically trained in recognizing narcissistic behavior patterns and employing the appropriate communication tools to disarm these behaviors, creating a safe and constructive space for resolution. In both family and workplace conflicts, narcissistic dynamics can often disrupt healthy communication and decision-making. Our experienced team is equipped with specialized strategies to navigate these challenges, fostering an environment where all parties feel heard and respected. By understanding the underlying traits of narcissistic behavior, we guide individuals toward productive dialogue and mutually beneficial solutions, ensuring that even the most difficult conflicts are addressed with care, empathy, and professionalism. TAC is not a VSO organization, but our mediators are well versed in negotiating military divorces under the 10/10/10 and 20/20/20 rules. Collaborative divorce packages are also available, with Veterans families receiving a discounted rate in honor of our favorite Veteran.
