. . . Try the new sensation; get a peer mediation! The peer mediators are a group of student who have been trained to help mediate and resolve conflicts. Students help each
other discover peaceful solutions to interpersonal problems. The Peer
Mediation process involves bringing two or more people together who are
having a conflict. Peer Mediators lead the disputants through the
brainstorming process as well as well as choosing a workable solution. Peer mediators help others learn how to use communication skills to solve their problems, while keeping
the sessions confidential. Mediations are open to all students and
adults at State High. One of the disputants or someone
aware of the conflict can request a mediation by bringing a completed
conflict mediation request form to the counseling office, stopping by
the counseling office or main office to request a mediation, or by emailing kas11@scasd.org. Our Peer Mediators are given training in how to conduct a mediation session, how to listen actively, how to reflect back thoughts and feelings, and how to remain objective. Students learn that conflict is a part of life, which can be positive when people talk out their problems. ~Adapted from the Park Forest Peer Mediator website |
