| The
Peer Mediation program trains selected students in the skills
required to successfully resolve interpersonal conflicts
(e.g., communication, problem solving, anger management,
mediation). These Peer Mediators in turn work with other
members of the student body who are involved in an interpersonal
conflict. The philosophy of the program is based on the
knowledge that youth tend to turn to other youth, rather
than to adults, with their problems. The Peer Mediation
program teaches students that they can learn the skills
to successfully resolve their own conflicts.
