When case managers have differing opinions on client care plans, it can create tension and hinder progress. Here’s how to mediate effectively:

• Facilitate open communication: Encourage a respectful dialogue where each case manager can voice their concerns and suggestions.

• Seek common objectives: Focus on shared goals for the client's well-being to align differing views.

• Involve a neutral third party: Sometimes, an impartial mediator can help resolve conflicts and offer unbiased solutions.
