WHAT ARE CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROGRAMS?

Founded as an independent non-profit agency in 1984, Conflict Resolution Programs (CRP) were merged with Center for Human Development in January 1998.

CRP has been offering volunteer-driven mediation services and conflict management training to community and business groups since its inception. CRP’s mediation services are provided by approximately 100 community volunteers. Each of the currently active volunteers participates in a vigorous 25-hour community training. The training emphasizes cultural and ethnic diversity and the use of communication skills to defuse anger in disputes.

Description:
The Center for Human Development is a community-based organization that offers a spectrum of services for at-risk youth, individuals, families, and communities in the Bay Area. Since 1972 we have provided wellness programs and support aimed at empowering people and promoting positive growth. Our dedicated staff and several hundred volunteers create and deliver programs and services addressing wellness, youth leadership, conflict resolution, parenting skills, and other challenges facing the community. Our volunteers work side-by-side with our staff to deliver quality programs in schools and community sites throughout Contra Costa as well as San Francisco and Alameda counties. We are known for our innovative programs and are committed to improving the quality of life in our communities.

Our main office is located in Pleasant Hill, California, and we have satellite offices in Antioch, North Richmond and San Francisco.
