D & M Consultants, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation started in 1986 with two (2) Fairweather Lodge programs. The Fairweather Lodge program is a community based psychosocial rehabilitation program for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. These programs, based on the philosophy  of Dr. George Fairweather, were pilot programs started by placing individuals in the community from Clinton Valley Center. At Clinton Valley Center, the individuals targeted for placement were part of a Fairweather 'Step Down" ward. These individuals were given the opportunity to step down from restricted ward settings to a ward that would allow them more freedom and inter-dependence. In addition, the individuals targeted for placement worked as a cohesive group, using the principles of Fairweather Lodges to make decisions that would benefit them in the community. A group of nine (9) individuals were placed at Peacock Lodge in Pontiac, Michigan and Bingham Farms Lodge in Bingham Farms, Michigan. Using the principles of Fairweather, these individuals moved into residential homes, opened their own business, Ever-Glo Janitorial, and became incorporated. Currently, D & M Consultants, Inc. has two (2) Lodge programs; Premier Lodge and Kinsel Lodge, both in Southfield, Michigan. There are 12 consumers between the Lodges.
