This program ensures you have access to a neutral, independent mediation professional to resolve matters realted to your experience with Community Mental Health (CMH) or Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) services. We'll connect you with your local Community Dispute Resolution Program (CDRP) center that can help you resolve your dispute.
It's free to all parties receiving mental health services from a CMH or PIHP, and paid for through a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) grant.
In mediation, a neutral third part will guide you through a confidential communication, information sharing, and decision-making process. The mediator ensures that all parties have a voice and that there is a power balance at the table. If a settlement is reached, the mediators will work with you to assist you in writing an enforceable agreement that is crafted by the parties. You do not lose any of your due process rights (i.e. local appeal, grievance/complaint, etc.) participating in mediation.
Benefits of Mediation:
- It provides a safe space to share concerns.
- IT's an impartial process where you have an equal voice.
- It's confidential.
