A Special Recognition for Community Dispute Resolution Day!

We are honored to share that October 15, 2026, was proclaimed Community Dispute Resolution Day in the State of Michigan by Governor Gretchen Whitmer!

This proclamation recognizes the importance of mediation and conflict resolution in helping individuals, families, and communities communicate effectively, resolve disagreements, and find solutions that work for everyone involved.

At Community Mediation Services (CMS), we are grateful to be part of this important mission. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated mediators, volunteers, community partners, and supporters who help make peaceful conflict resolution possible every day.

This recognition reminds us that even in moments of disagreement, there is an opportunity for understanding, connection, and positive change.

Together, we can continue building stronger communities - one conversation at a time. 💙

October is , a time to recognize progress in juvenile justice reform and the continued work needed to improve outcomes for young people.

This summer, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed House Bill 4396, sponsored by state Rep. Sarah Lightner, pictured at left with CBHJ Director Sheryl Kubiak and Associate Director of Policy and Outreach Algeria Wilson. The legislation expands access to anonymized juvenile justice data for research, helping inform future policy and strengthen Michigan’s juvenile justice system.

CBHJ is also partnering with Oakland County to evaluate reforms, track progress and identify opportunities for improvement.
