New to RSI’s Resource Center

Nicole Wilmet, March 26th, 2019

We are pleased to introduce two new program evaluation resources from RSI’s Director of Research Jennifer Shack to you!

Last month, Jen discussed findings from her recent evaluation of Ohio’s civil stalking pilot mediation program. This month, the final report on the evaluation is now available for download. This evaluation covers ten jurisdictions and examines mediation outcomes, agreement sustainability, agreement provisions, and the impact of referral to mediation on the probability of a full hearing being held. Additionally, the evaluation also looks at the experience of the program’s participants.

In November, we introduced Saving Homes, Building Understanding: An Evaluation of Eight Foreclosure Mediation Programs Funded by the Illinois Attorney General. In addition to access to the full evaluation and digital summary, we are pleased to introduce that individual circuit extracts from the study are now available for download. These circuit extracts summarize the study’s findings for Illinois’ 1st, 6th, 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th, and 21st judicial circuits.

Introducing the Community Mediation Special Topic

Nicole Wilmet, October 26th, 2018

We are pleased to introduce a new special topic on community mediation to AboutRSI.org! Written in collaboration with the National Association for Community Mediation, our latest special topic takes an in-depth look at community mediation.

Inside the special topic you will find everything you need to know about community mediation including the basics, the relationship between courts and community mediation centers, and how tracking and evaluating mediation can help community mediation centers. Additionally, our community mediation special topic offers a compilation of exemplary studies on the effectiveness of community mediation, other processes that centers use, and information that can help centers to better address issues surrounding the provision of services.

We hope you enjoy this new resource as much as we do!
