North Star Youth Mediation Program

An Alternative Approach to Conflict Resolution

What is the Peer Mediation?

Peer Mediation involves youth who are in conflict or who have a disagreement and meet the following conditions:

 

· They are between the ages of 12 and 18 years (7th through 12th grades)

· They both desire to work out the problem between them

· They are willing to understand  and respect their individual      differences

· They are willing to change the way they currently relate to each other

 

Mediation offers youth a chance to sit face-to-face and talk, uninterrupted, so each point of view is heard.  They focus on the problem and not on blaming each other.  After the problem is identified and points of view are shared, the youth create options for mutual gain and choose a win-win solution.  Then they may finalize an agreement to behave in some way from that point forward.
