Peer Mediation Program
It is inevitable that students get into fights, arguments
or disagreements and that it affects school life in some way. But
it isn't inevitable that these conflicts have to be unproductive
or lead to unproductive consequences, like time away from teaching
and increased stress and tension.
Peer mediation has been proven to reduce office
referrals, after-school fights and suspensions, and increase
the time in which students are available for learning. Life
Trax ’s Peer Mediation Program empowers youth to mediate
peer disputes such as rumors, name calling, minor harassment
and relationship fights that can often get in the way of classroom
learning and school safety. At a time when adults look to
youth to solve their own problems without constant adult supervision,
our peer mediation program is an effective way for schools
to decrease violence and increase student empowerment and
community service.
