Mediation is a voluntary process where two mediators assist disputants in solving their conflict in a socially acceptable manner. The Peer Mediation Program recognizes that conflicts are a part of life. Peer Mediators are facilitators of the mediation process. They are not counselors, judges, lawyers, or advice givers. Mediators are non-judgmental.
Mediators assist disputants to come up with their own solutions to their conflict.
Mediation strives to work out conflicts peacefully to create a win-win situation for both parties. To help settle problems before they get serious. Show adults that students can do things for themselves. To improve the school s climate. Reduce campus tension.
