National Association for School Mediation

The National Association for School Mediation (NASM) is an organization that promotes and supports conflict resolution efforts within schools. It provides training, resources, and standards for mediators—often students, teachers, or staff—to help resolve disputes collaboratively and peacefully. By fostering effective communication and understanding, NASM aims to create safer, more positive school environments, reduce violence and disciplinary problems, and teach students valuable conflict management skills. Its goal is to help schools manage disagreements constructively before they escalate into serious issues.
