The EUP Community Dispute Resolution Center (CDRC) provides trained facilitators for meetings upon request. Like mediators, facilitators are neutral — they do not make decisions for the group or for the meeting participants. They guide the process by supporting all participants to do their best thinking, by keeping the group focused and by helping all move toward the group's goal(s).
In 2006, facilitations were provided for some Special Education Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings, for all meetings of the Community Collaboratives in Chippewa and Mackinac Counties, and for some workgroup meetings of those collaboratives.
Services are provided to all citizens regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, political affiliation or ability to pay.
