Who Are We?
Peer Mediation Programs (PMP) is a consulting firm under the larger group of Countess, Kingett & Associates Mediation Services,LLC with offices located at the East Gate Center, 309 Fellowship Rd. 2nd Floor, Mount Laurel, N.J. 08054. PMP's primary mission is to provide school based programs that will teach and reinforce problem solving skills to students. Through PMP, students settle their own disputes and help each other learn how to find workable solutions to their problems before they become a crisis. PMP will also address the biases and prejudices which are often at the root of student conflict, teaching children how to better accept, respect and interact with each other.
What is Mediation?
Mediation, an effective problem solving alternative to formal discipline, can avoid the undesirable results of conflict, by stopping disputes early on. In peer mediation, the key to success is allowing student mediators to help settle the conflicts of students in the school. By having life experiences similar to the disputants, a mediator is able to create a better environment for agreement by being able to relate to the problems which confront them. The mediations take place in a designated area such as a peer mediation room, library, or administration office and are typically between two mediators and two disputants.
