Victims Assistance/Social Services 

The following services are provided to Carrollton citizens and persons victimized within the city of Carrollton. Call 972-466-3158 if you, or someone you know, needs assistance, information or services.

Mediation Services
This is an option offered to parties involved in civil disagreements.
Mediation is a facilitated process in which two people with a conflict work with a neutral third party called a mediator.  The mediator helps the disputing parties communicate and promotes reconciliation, settlement, or understanding between them. 

The process can lessen the occurrences of repeat disturbances by resolving disputes before they escalate into more serious matters. Our group can refer parties in need of mediation to a mediation service that can provide a mediator at no cost to the parties.
