::Peer Mediation in the Schools::

Peer Mediation

With Peer Mediation training, students are taught how to apply their acquired Conflict Resolution skills and language in a process that helps their peers.

The Mediation process is a helpful way of resolving problems in a civilized and mature manner. Mediators are trained to serve as neutral third parties who guide the mediation process, which clarifies the concerns of each participant.

Trained Peer Mediators can help their fellow students by mediating conflicts in their schools.

The training and skills that students gain through these processes not only allow them to help fellow students, but will also help them in their everyday relationships with friends and family.
