The Dispute Resolution in Mental Health Initiative (DRMH Initiative) brings conflict resolution tools to all kinds of mental health stakeholders. We help people talk about mental health, address challenging behaviors, and resolve conflicts. The DRMH Initiative is operated by the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center (CUNY DRC) at John Jay College and MH Mediate. All programs have been designed by Dan Berstein, a mediator and mental health expert living with bipolar disorder.
