On January 17, 2026, the Arizona Mediation Center (AMC) announced the launch of a new statewide initiative aimed at expanding access to mediation services for individuals and organizations throughout Arizona.The initiative, titled "Mediation for All," seeks to address the growing demand for alternative dispute resolution services in the state by increasing the availability and affordability of mediation services for a wide range of issues, including family disputes, workplace conflicts, and civil disputes.In a press release issued by the AMC, Executive Director Sarah Johnson stated, "We are thrilled to announce the launch of our 'Mediation for All' initiative, which will help bring mediation services to individuals and organizations who may not have had access to these services in the past due to financial or logistical barriers.
