Helping educators, students, and parents communicate effectively, resolve conflict and appreciate differences since 1984

Welcome to our web site. School Mediation Associates helped create the peer mediation concept 25 years ago, and we've been honored to work in schools around the world ever since.

Our services include:

Mediation: We facilitate difficult conversations among adults in a way that enables participants to learn and meet their goals.

Training: We train educators and young people in a range of research-based, practical programs that build relationships, improve school climate, and increase academic success. Programs include: Peer Mediation, Bullying Prevention, Student Leadership/Student Mentoring, Restorative Discipline/Restorative Practices, Managing Difficult Conversations, Emotional Intelligence, and more…

Books and Video: Our books and video provide information about implementing peer mediation programs and mediating challenging disputes (involving gangs, sexual harassment, large groups, etc.). Excerpts are posted on this site.

Newsletter: The School Mediator is our free peer mediation e-newsletter with subscribers from 70 countries.

Best wishes, and please contact us if we can help.
