Indy Center for Conflict Resolution

Under the leadership of the Indy Public Safety Foundation, ICCR is part of the public-private collaborative efforts to reduce violence in our city by developing, implementing, and evaluating community-based interventions related to conflict resolution and quality-of-life issues.

ICCR Programs are focused in two main areas:

Community Mediation Services
By working directly with those seeking resolution—either referred for services or through community engagement—ICCR provides the following services via professionally trained staff and community volunteers committed to promoting peace in our communities:

• Community Engagement
• Resource Referrals
• Conflict Management Training

Conflict Resolution Coaching + Management
ICCR offers conflict coaching, a neutral third-party option for managing the conflict and designing an approach to discuss the conflict with the other person on their own. As in mediation, the participant is responsible for the outcome. This option is best for:

• Organizational team-building
• Preparing for a community mediation
• Enhancing skills in handling conflict
• If working with only one party
