Peer Mediation is problem solving by youth with you. Two students involved in a dispute get to meet in a private, safe, and confidential setting to work out problems with the assistance of a trained student mediator. The benefits include:
- Reducing staff time spent on discipline
- Reducing suspension, expulsions, and fights
- Empowering students to learn to resolve disputes peacefully
- Improving their skills to work with others
- Establish a new way of thinking about conflicts, disputes, and differences
