Mediators do not take sides. Mediators are well trained to help you solve your problems. Mediations last about 30 minutes. Mediations are confidential. Mediation is free.
Mediation is for all middle school students.
Mediation may prevent suspension or detention. Here are two students who have a conflict with each other. The mediators are there to help the two students solve and talk out their problems by listening to them and what they have to say. After they've each presented their side of the story they agree on a solution to stop the problem. On average a majority of the students solve their problem and do not come back to be mediated.
