Many forms are available that can be modified to the specifics of any school and programme. Frequently asked questions are addressed, and many suggestions provided to follow up the training and implementation of the program. This is an excellent guide for teachers, counsellors, administrators, or anyone wanting to introduce students to the benefits of peer mediation
