MWI

Conflict is part of every competitive environment, including professional sports.

Join us for MWI's July Mediator Roundtable as Scot Beckenbaugh takes us behind the scenes to explore how mediation works in the world of sports and what those experiences can teach us about resolving conflict in any setting.

🗓 Thursday, July 16
🕧 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. ET

We'll discuss how to:
🏅 Navigate complex disputes in high-pressure environments
🤝 Preserve relationships while addressing conflict
💡 Apply lessons from sports mediation to everyday practice

Whether you mediate workplace, commercial, family, or community disputes, you'll leave with practical insights you can put to use right away.

We hope you'll join us!

We're excited to share some good news.

MWI has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the Massachusetts Bar Foundation's Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts (IOLTA) Grants Program, the largest grant we have received for our summary process and small claims court mediation program.

Through its IOLTA Grants Program, the Massachusetts Bar Foundation helps support organizations that expand access to justice across Massachusetts, and we are honored to be among this year's recipients.

As part of MWI's public-service initiatives, MWI serves 14 Massachusetts District and Municipal courts, and this funding will help us amplify those services while investing in the volunteer mediators whose compassion, skill, and generosity make this work possible.

Every day, MWI's mediators help people navigate some of life's most difficult moments. Their commitment to listening, problem-solving, and helping others find a path forward makes a difference for individuals, families, and communities throughout the Commonwealth.

We are deeply grateful to the Massachusetts Bar Foundation for this investment and to the court mediators who give so generously of their time and talents.

Thank you for helping make access to justice more accessible, one conversation at a time.

Strong communities do not happen automatically.

Whether in workplaces, schools, nonprofits, associations, or neighborhoods, healthy communities are built over time through communication, trust, participation, and a willingness to work through challenges together.

At MWI, we spend a lot of time helping people navigate difficult situations and conversations. One thing we’ve learned is that disagreement itself is not usually the problem. Strong communities are built when people stay engaged, keep communicating, and work through challenges together.

Community looks different everywhere, but connection still matters.

What helps you feel connected in the communities you are part of?
