Peer Mediation training
Mediators are people outside of a conflict who are trained in a specific process to help others who are having a conflict to resolve it. Peer mediators are children or young people who are trained to provide this support to other children. They are unbiased and trained to listen to the stories of everyone involved in the conflict.
MIRRA works to deliver a dynamic training programme to teach selected pupils to become effective peer mediators.
The skills and knowledge taught include:
- Understanding what a mediators role is and the boundaries for mediators
- Listening skills and developing empathy
- Questioning skills
- Understanding emotions
- Understanding more about the nature of conflict and why it escalates
- Problem solving
- Becoming familiar with the mediation process and practicing the skills
- Working effectively with a co-mediator
The training meets many of the requirements of the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) curriculum. Contact us for further details.
