PMP Facilitator Training

PMP Facilitator Training

Peers Making Peace (PMP) is an award-winning and widely recognized school-based peer mediation program. OMC is the only entity in Michigan credentialed to train school staff in Peers Making Peace. Peer mediation programs train identified students as neutral third parties to intervene and assist other students in the resolution and management of interpersonal disputes. Peer mediation gives students an opportunity to resolve the conflict at hand and strategies to handle similar problems in the future without having an adult solve their problems for them. Peer mediation programs “have the potential to improve learning climates that ultimately could raise national test scores.” (Conflict Resolution Quarterly, 21/1, 7-25). By the end of this training participants will be able to:

  1. Empower students to resolve their own conflict by learning to design and implement the PMP Peer Mediation Program to meet student and school needs.
  2. Reduce discipline referrals, assaults, and expulsions by learning to coordinate peer mediations and program success at your school.
  3. Sustain program efforts by receiving the skills and training manual needed to train students to become peer mediators.

Peers Making Peace is appropriate for elementary, middle, and high schools.
