Dan Berstein has worked for over a decade developing tools to help legal practitioners, courts, and government agencies across the country talk about mental health, become accessible to people with disabilities, and address challenging behaviors. A mediator living with bipolar disorder, he wrote the book on Mental Health and Conflicts (published by the American Bar Association), developed a trauma-informed and bias-resistant resource platform for courts (funded by the American Arbitration Association – International Centre for Dispute Resolution Foundation), and created a model for inclusive mental health stakeholder engagement as part of the National Dialogue on Mental Health. Dan leads the Mental Health Safe Project’s advocacy work encouraging organizations to update or remove discriminatory policies and practices, and teaching people with mental health problems how to use conflict resolution skills to speak up when they are mistreated. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the Wharton School and a master’s degree in Mental Health from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
