TAP (Talk About the Problems) is a peer mediation program making a difference in schools throughout the South. Students are trained as mediators, then work in pairs to assist their peers who are in conflict reach meaningful, mutually agreeable resolutions-- stopping conflicts before they escalate to violence, detention, or suspension. TAP empowers students to strengthen their schools by building communication and leadership skills that will last a lifetime and bolster an environment that is ideal for teaching and learning.
