Our Peer Mediation Program is committed to students helping students resolve disputes peacefully. The student mediators complete a comprehensive twenty-two hour training conducted by our Violence Prevention Coordinator in the skills of mediation—listening, questioning and facilitating. This empowering model provides students with the skills necessary to help their peers resolve problems that can quickly escalate to violence. Mediation is voluntary, neutral and confidential. The student mediators listen to all sides of the dispute and help parties to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution. 508.821.1181
