SLPM Program Guide

Welcome to CRCSTL’s Student-Led Peer Mediation Program Guide. This document contains findings, instructions, summaries, and program materials that our team has developed since 2021 outlining our peer mediation pilot efforts. We are excited to share these documents as open source materials and do so with the hope that they will benefit existing and future programs throughout St. Louis and beyond.
