Conflict Resolution & Community Building

ProjectTRUST for Middle School Students

This program breaks down the barriers that exist between clique groups in school communities.  The core of this program is a two and one half day retreat.  Opinion leaders from various clique groups are placed in family groups with students with whom they would never affiliate.  Trained adult counselors are assigned to family groups.  Team building, problem solving, and attention to the effects of "put downs" are all part of the experience.

Peer Mediation Training for Middle and High School Students

Experienced Wilmington College peer mediation training teams work with high school and middle school students, training them to be peer mediators. Twenty four hours of training ensures the effectiveness of the training program.

Positive Discipline Training for Classroom Teachers

This program provides teachers with the tools to create caring, non-coercive, non-punitive classroom environments.  This type of problem solving approach has been shown to promote high academic achievement.
