CR4S is an ACT Government-funded trial service offered by Conflict Resolution Services
Dispute Resolution Processes, such as mediation, facilitated conversations, and restorative processes provided by CRS, can help Canberrans and their families to:
Manage, prevent and resolve problems and disputes with others
Discuss difficult topics around ageing and the care of an older person
Create plans for the future, e.g. health, finances and living arrangements
Avoid the high financial cost and broken relationships of going to court
Make their own decisions
Preserve important family relationships
Whichever format is selected, a support person may be recommended for the older person to assist in communicating what they want to say.
Before contacting CRS about arranging mediation, facilitated conversation, or a restorative process, you may want to discuss your personal circumstances or your concerns for an older person with the following organisations for more information.
