  • "With a polarized social and political climate, I believe we have forgotten how to communicate with people of differing perspectives. I appreciate the fact that we serve individuals with entrenched beliefs that learn to compromise for the betterment of our community."

    Derek Bumrungsiri, DRC Board Member

  • "Conflict exists everywhere in our lives, and it's necessary for our change and growth as human beings. Our reaction to it and how we deal with conflict is important! The DRC helps equip people with the tools to deal with conflict in a healthy, meaningful way that can last a lifetime."

    Kristine Torset, Mediator

  • "Nuestra sociedad y cultura tienen una perspectiva negativa con la palabra "conflicto". La realidad es que el conflicto es una parte normal de cualquier relación saludable. Y porque el conflicto es una parte normal de la vida de todos, nuestro centro provee las herramientas para resolver conflictos de manera efectiva.

    Jessica Molina, Miembro de la Junta Directiva del DRC
