The first online international peer mediation tournament was held March to May 2024 supported by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc (JAMS), the National Association of Peer Program Professionals, and a division of NAPPP, the Online Peer Mediation Platform (OPMP). The goal was to allow peer mediators practice their peer mediation skills in a friendly competition with other students worldwide. Another goal was to encourage peer mediators to continue to grow their resolution skills which they showcased during the competition. Mediation is a peaceful, critical conflict management strategy that trained peers called conflict mediators use to help youth resolve conflicts.

High school and middle school conflict management teams received coaching from adults skilled in mediation techniques. Experienced professionals in the peer mediation field served as tournament judges. Teams were judged based on the demonstration of their skills in following the mediation process and their ability to have disputants reach a mutually agreeable solution.

The winning High School Team was Rockdale Virtual Campus Peer Mediators and their coordinators Cynthia Morton, Monica Seeley, Vanessa Burch, and Kindra Latimore. Their mediation team has been in existence since 2008. Their trained mediators have conducted around 50 mediations since 2008 at 4 high schools. The 2023-2024 high school mediators consisted of Juniors and Seniors who have been in the Rockdale Virtual Campus Peer Facilitation program for two years. All the students put in countless hours of practice to prepare for the tournament.

The winning Middle School Team was KIPP Inspire Academy and their coach and mediation trainer Kristin Watt. Their mediation team has been in existence since 2023-2024. Their trained mediators conduct around 10 mediations per year for fellow students at KIPP Inspire Academy. This was the first year their school had a peer mediation program which received training from Conflict Resolution Center, St. Louis MO. The students worked very hard throughout the course of the tournament to prepare each case and used a lot of teamwork in helping each other in their roles. The whole team is entering high school in the fall.

The winning teams received recognition on the JAMS Foundation, OPMP, and NAPPP websites. The winning team and their adult coordinator received certificates and other prizes. The winning team received recognition cords to be worn when they graduate. The schools received a JAMS/OPMP/NAPPP Tournament Champions banner for display.

JAMS/OPMP/NAPPP applauds all the tournament participants and plans to conduct an expanded tournament in 2025 with returning and new teams.

Dear Peer Mediation Coordinator:

We would like to invite you and your team to compete in the JAMS sponsored, National Association of Peer Program Professionals & Online Peer Mediation Platform’s 2024 Peer Mediation Tournament!

The virtual tournament will be held between March and May 2024 and will provide a unique way for middle and high school peer mediators to practice and hone their mediation skills. Each peer mediation team will role-play a 45 minute mediation problem drafted by experienced mediators. Each team will be provided with a coach to hone their skills, and a judge who will evaluate them using a point system. There are lots of prizes, including cash, trophies, gifts, and national recognition for participants and winners.

Registration is now open and closes on January 30th. The cost for each team is $40.00 (and scholarships are available). School peer mediation coordinators who register for the tournament will attend a mandatory virtual orientation in February to learn about the tournament rules and procedures.

Please consider joining us and acquainting your peer mediation team with the larger mediation community!

Wanted: Coaches and Judges for our Peer Mediation Tournament!

Are you an adult with mediation experience? Do you enjoy working with students? Please consider becoming a peer mediation coach for a school peer mediation team or judging in the 1st Peer Mediation Online Tournament. We need your help!

Books approved by Professional Development Committee and Board of Directors

Helping Adolescents Know What To Do When A Peer Is In Crisis
Susan Bowman, Ed.S.
YouthLight, Inc. 2021

This guide was developed to meet the needs of youth ages 13-19 who are in crisis. The guides gives a teacher, counselor, advisor, social worker, almost any caring adult in a school center basic tools to work with youth on how to spot warning signs in a peer and help prevent a crisis situation. The guide and lessons work on the premise that every child needs at least one caring adult in their life and that the more a student understands the warning signs of a crisis and what risk factors look like, the more likely they can be "upstanders" for their peers and help prevent the situation from escalating.

This guide has six core lessons that can be presented in 30 to 40 minute sessions. These can be done through a morning meeting, advisory, peer-to-peer club, etc. and there are supplemental lessons if refreshers are needed or additional content. The activities are very hands on and appropriate for middle and high school youth.

The student survey, which is included as part of Lesson One can be used with just those who are going to be peer helpers or can be given to an entire class or grade level. It looks at youth experience and knowledge level and also how they obtain knowledge and how knowledge and current events affect their mental health.

The author has specifically used a peer approach and sites NAPPP in their research. The guide is centered on the peer helping model and can provide tools for all students to have. It is NOT a replacement for a school or center wide peer helping program but is a nice supplement that can provide youth immediate skills (such as listening, observing, and empathy).

Each lesson has a one-page plan that covers objective, activities, hands on activities, and follow-up. The lessons are Keeping It Real, Identifying Pleasant and Unpleasant Feelings, How Can I Help Others? Listening With Understanding, How Can I Help Others Asking Engaging Questions, Advanced Listening Skills, and Limitations.

Helping Anxious and Discouraged Youth To Overcome The Challenges Of Today's Growing Mental Health Crisis
James Rex, Ph.D.
Sue Smith-Rex, Ed.D.
Robert P. Bowman, Ph.D.
Susan Bowman, Ed.S.
YouthLight, Inc. 2022

This guide was developed to meet the needs of youth (6th to 12th grade) who may be suffering from anxiety, stress, and discouragement. The guide provides adult factilitators with brief but focused lessons that are research-based, creative, and specific - a way to engage youth in learning personal strategies to help them feel more empowered. The research provided is shared from the State of Mental Health in America (2021 report) that not only shows the early results of COVID 19 effect on our youth's mental health but also looks at depression, anxiety, and self-harm.

There are 16 core lessons and activities that can be adapted by the adult facilitator to meet the needs of the youth present. Lessons are designed to fit in a 30 to 40 minute period but can be extended to fit into a class, group, or advisory situation.

The lessons have digital files that can be downloaded with handouts for each lesson as well as supplements in case you want more time for that lesson.

Topics covered are anxiety and discouragement, misinformation, present thinking, reframing thoughts, big deals or little deals, What's Strong With You?, Coping strategies, bounce - resiliency, being resourceful, academic anxiety and discouragement, happiness, gratitude, healthy social media, taking care of your physical self, becoming involved in something new.

Natural Helpers of South Dakota receives NAPPP Certified Peer Curriculum (CPC) status.

In 1999, the Natural Helpers (C.H.E.F.) training of trainers was brought to South Dakota. Throughout the years, many schools and organizations trained students in grades 6-12 in this program.

In 2022, the South Dakota Department of Social Services, Division of Behavioral Health (DSS-DBH) received SAMHSA grant funding that was used to revitalize the curriculum and train the Prevention Resource Center (PRC) staff from across the state to be facilitators and to go through the process of becoming a Certified Peer Curriculum through NAPPP.

The Natural Helpers program is based on the premise that within every school, an informal "helping network" already exists. Students experiencing problems naturally seek out other students - and also adults - whom they trust. Natural Helpers uses this helping network to disseminate as much accurate information as possible to all students. It provides training to students and adults who are already serving as helpers, giving them skills to help others more effectively.

The program uses an anonymous school-wide survey to identify a cross-section of students and school adults. These students and staff will attend a 1-2 day training to learn skills to become a better Natural Helper, including:

Qualities & Expectations
Importance of Self-Care
Listening & Communication
Knowing when friends need help
Situations that require professional help
Expressing Care & Concern
Problem Solving
Teamwork
Available Resources

Following the training, adult advisors monitor the Natural Helpers and provide additional training and support as needed. The curriculum provides a strong message on referrals and resources related to substance abuse and su***de prevention.

The program has four basic goals to help young people develop the capability to:

Prevent some of the problems experienced during adolescence
Intervene effectively with friends experiencing problems
Choose positive ways of taking care of themselves
Improve their school and community

Students play a variety of roles as Natural Helpers. Some roles include:

Continuing to help their friends with concerns
Lending a sympathetic ear to those in need of a friend
Recognizing when peole have serious problems - like depression, substance use, and referring them to trained helping resources
Working with members of their helping team to discuss issues and specific problems
Providing accurate information
Becoming more involved with their school and community

The PRCs in South Dakota will be working with DSS-DBH to continue to promote the training, strengthen the ongoing training portion and the evaluation of the program. Plans are underway to provide a training of trainers to try to expand the programming to different schools/communities across the state.

Overview of NAPPP:
Peer programs are a variety of supportive services initiated by trained peers in diverse settings. Often, trained peers are young people, trained and supervised by professionals, who adhere to ethics and standards endorsed by helping professionals and NAPPP. Trained peers often become preventive agents who identify problems and encourage others to seek the necessary help from appropriate professionals. Trained peers provide people with opportunities for learning, guidance, emotional support, and growth which translates to reduced drug and alcohol
involvement, higher academic skills, reduced HIV/AIDS transmission, reduced unintended pregnancy, reduced conflict, increased understanding of differences, and increased service to others. By helping others, trained peers often increase their own self-esteem and personal functioning.

Peer programs are simply people helping other people. When people of any age experience frustrations, worries, concerns, and other life events, they typically turn to their friends, not professionals, for help, advice, practical assistance, and support.

The peer programs that NAPPP supports have various names such as peer helping, peer counseling, peer ministry, peer education, peer leadership, peer health education, peer mediators, peer tutoring, and peer mentoring. Peers do not replace licensed or certified professionals or practitioners but often serve as an extension of the services these professionals provide. Through much research and evaluation, peer programs have been found to be one of the most proven and effective preventions and intervention strategies. NAPPP trains professional staff to lead and implement quality Peer Programs that follow NAPPP National Standards and Ethics. Consulting is available to individual
programs, large systems, corporations, networks, and state programs.

Standards and Ethics make a Difference! NAPPP needs help to expand our training efforts, develop new and relevant curriculum, support research in the field and support professionals in need of scholarship to take the online and in-person trainings. One of the goals this year is to have a Peer Mediation Tournament, platform for our on line classes and develop a national on-line conference. Our Strategic Plan needs resources to implement our goals and objectives. We need support for these efforts as well as the infrastructure to push our initiatives forward!
