Support Peer Mediation!!

Community Mediation, Inc. in Hamden, CT has been working in the New Haven and Hamden schools to train youth to be peer mediators for many years.  Most of our work is funded by grants and some funds from the Board of Education.  Sadly, those funds don't allow us to purchase something that would allow the mediators to stand out from other students.  No safety badges, t-shirts, or even buttons that tell students who the mediators are.  We are hoping you will help us change that.

We…

FREEZING WHEN IN CONFLICT

When considering that one response to being provoked is to freeze, this week’s blog encourages thinking about what that means and what to do about it.
