Family Based Programs Parent Training Mediation skills are among the best parenting tools available. The skills are simple to learn, simple to use, and powerfully effective. PeaceMakers will provide training specifically designed to address parent concerns with their children. Through the workshop, a group of parents and children will emerge trained as mediators. This aspect of the PeaceMakers project will have a tremendous impact on the community.
Citizens continue to feel a greater sense of isolation or, more aptly, aloneness.
This aloneness is responsible for many of today s problems. By training a core group of parents and children to act as mediators, we will create a powerful base of community support to greatly strengthen families, engender in each family member feelings of belonging and being needed, and give each family member a sense of connection to the larger community. Enlist the support of teachers and other school personnel. Inform all students about the program. Train new peer mediators.
