Peer Mediation is a program that allows student mediators to resolve conflicts among their peers. The mediators work with the student disputants to resolve the conflict and arrive at a win-win peaceful resolution. Referrals can be made by the students, parents, administrators, counselors, teachers and support staff. Peer Mediation is made up of both Veteran Mediators and Mediators in training. All Mediators go through extensive training in conflict resolution to empower the students to resolve issues they are having with their peers.
