Community Mediation District of Columbia C began working with Choice Research Associates in 2018.  The CMDC Reentry Mediation Project builds on the Community Mediation Maryland (CMM) Reentry Mediation model. However, jurisdictional differences – including that justice involved individuals are sentenced to the Federal Bureau of Prisons – required CMDC to examine their program utilizing the Program Development and Evaluation (PDE) method.  Other considerations were a greater emphasis on post-release mediation services as well as providing conflict coaching. Conflict coaching is a one-on-one process in which a trained coach, who is also a trained mediator, works with participants to gain insight on a conflict, and works to build confidence to address that specific conflict. Throughout the process, participants have the opportunity to gain skills and awareness to support them in dealing with interpersonal conflicts in general.
