✨ Benefits of behavioral health mediation:
• Encourages respectful communication
• Reduces stress and conflict

• Promotes understanding and healthier relationships
• Focuses on solutions that meet everyone's needs
When people feel heard and understood, meaningful progress becomes possible.

Effective immediately, Oakland Mediation Center will temporarily transition to virtual only, or offsite services while Auburn Hills remains in a state of emergency for a major water main break. This temporary transition may last a couple of days or as long as 14 days, per city and county officials. Due to the water main break, water pressure levels are insufficient to reliably support emergency fire suppression systems and sanitary operations. Community members seeking services may contact us on our website at www.mediation-omc.org or by phone at 248-338-4280 and at the following extensions: Domestic mediation (divorce, parenting time, probate, behavioral health and other specialty cases) ext. 223, general referrals and circuit court civil at ext. 212, district court mediation at ext. 224, special education mediation at ext. 222, legal services at ext. 221, or training/education services at ext. 210. Administration at ext. 226. Thank you for your patience!

Access to justice shouldn’t depend on your income. Too many people face legal challenges—housing disputes, family matters, small business issues—without the support they need because traditional legal services can be out of reach.

That’s where affordable legal services and/or mediation come in.

Lower-cost legal options, sliding-scale fees, and community-based support help bridge the gap so more people can understand their rights and protect their interests. Legal help shouldn’t feel out of reach. Everyone deserves access to clear, reliable advice—without worrying about overwhelming costs. Affordable legal services are making it easier than ever to get support with things like contracts, family matters, small business needs, and more. Whether it’s a quick consultation or ongoing guidance, there are options designed to fit real budgets and real lives.

Mediation offers a practical alternative—helping people resolve conflicts faster, with less stress, and often at a fraction of the cost of going to court.

When we make legal help more accessible, and more comfortable, we strengthen our communities. Fair outcomes shouldn’t be a privilege—they should be the standard.

Contact us today to assist with your matter. 248-338-4280 or www.mediation-omc.org

Oakland Mediation Center proudly partnered with Clawson schools recently to train and implement a Peer Mediation Program in their district. Peer mediation programs empower students and team members to resolve disputes through communication, empathy, and collaboration. Instead of escalating conflicts, participants learn to listen actively, understand different perspectives, and work toward solutions that benefit everyone involved.

The result? Stronger relationships, improved emotional intelligence, and a more supportive environment where every voice matters.

Investing in peer mediation isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about building a culture of respect and leadership for the future.

Conflict happens—but it doesn’t have to end in damage.

Every day, nonprofit mediation centers help people navigate disagreements with dignity, understanding, and respect. Whether it’s families, neighbors, or communities, trained mediators create space for real conversations and lasting solutions.

But this work depends on support.

When you donate, you’re not just funding a service—you’re investing in stronger relationships, healthier communities, and peaceful outcomes where they matter most.

✨ Help turn conflict into connection.

✨ Support access to fair, compassionate mediation.

✨ Be part of something that truly makes a difference.

Give today at www.mediation-omc.org and help build a more understanding world. 🤝
