Who We Are

OUR VISION

We envision a world in which all dispute resolution is collaborative, compassionate, and constructive.

OUR MISSION

We unite and empower a global network of professionals who are dedicated to transforming conflict resolution using the principles of Collaborative Practice.

OUR PILLARS

Through Collaborative Practice, we:

• help people in conflict make informed decisions that meet their needs and goals.
• provide resources to facilitate holistic solutions that address the emotional, financial, and legal aspects of disputes.
• customize conflict resolution methods to meet the specific situation and needs of everyone involved.
• keep communication open during the resolution process to build trust and understanding.

In line with the IACP mission, we are committed to creating a community that:

• is inclusive of diverse perspectives, in recognition that we create a stronger Collaborative Practice model and professional community when we embrace the breadth of experience and insight from all.
• upholds high standards of competence and ethics, ensuring reliability and professionalism in every interaction.
• uses interdisciplinary teams to empower and support individuals to reach their own agreements with a focus on their short and long-term well-being.
• shows perseverance and commitment to finding solutions, even in challenging and complex situations.
• protects the privacy and confidentiality of all people involved.
• promotes respectful and constructive communication.
