SCHOOL MEDIATION AND TRAINING
SCHOOL MEDIATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS
MetroWest Mediation Services is pleased to announce that we offer specialized conflict resolution services and trainings for students, teachers, and staff in schools throughout MetroWest. Our programs are partially covered by generous grants that allow us to offer our services at an affordable rate.
There are many benefits to establishing a culture of conflict resolution within your school. Conflict is inevitable but empowering students to resolve their own disputes could have long-lasting implications for students throughout their education, careers, and personal lives. Further, establishing an infrastructure for how students resolve their own disputes would lower the administrative burden on teachers and staff that is spent on disciplinary actions.
