Community Mediation &
Restorative Services, Inc. (CMRS) presents “Real People, Real Conversations,
Real Solutions,” an exhibit highlighting the different service areas handled
through mediation or restorative services. This exhibit will be on display in
the Hennepin County Government Center, Hennepin Gallery, from March 2 through
May 30, 2017.
Since 1983, CMRS has helped
Hennepin County residents move from conflict to resolution and from harm to
healing through mediation and restorative services. CMRS works to address a
broad range of disputes including school, juvenile crime, housing, harassment,
consumer, family, neighborhood, elder, and workplace conflicts.
CMRS continues to expand services
for youth and schools and services that help individuals avoid the collateral
consequences of court and police interactions. Additionally, through outreach
and training, CMRS is spreading messages of hope and civility throughout our
communities. This exhibit provides information about how to get involved
through training and volunteering.
The public is invited to a reception on Thursday,
March 23, 2017, 4:30-7:30 p.m., at the Hennepin Gallery to celebrate CMRS volunteers
and the important work they do in our communities.
The Hennepin Gallery is free and
open to the public Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Hennepin
County Government Center, A-level, 300. S. Sixth St., Minneapolis. The exhibit
is sponsored by Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department.
The Gallery is a project of
Hennepin County Communications.
