CMUS Partners with QACPS to Build More Peaceful Schools
CMUS has recently expanded its multi-year partnership with Queen Anne's County Public Schools (QACPS) with additional on-site mediation programs for students, faculty and administrators. This partnership was recently highlighted in this Bay Times / News Observer article.
According to Penni Walker-Doyle, CMUS' Executive Director, "When students don’t worry about interpersonal conflicts, they can focus more on their learning instead of being distracted by a rift between friends." Cameron Ronayne, CMUS' schools program coordinator, adds "In partnership with QACPS, CMUS is offering additional services to students, including conflict and attendance mediation, community-building circles for staff and students, conflict awareness workshops, IEP facilitations, and other services to all of QACPS." If you are in a conflict (at school, at home, at work, with a neighbor, landlord or tenant ...) that would benefit from community mediation, or if you'd like to volunteer your time as a community mediator (CMUS will provide all necessary training), scroll down for more information or simply drop us an email at info@cmusmediation.org. |
