T.A.P. Empowers Students, Strengthens Schools
T.A.P. (Talk About the Problems) is a peer mediation program making a difference at schools throughout Mississippi. Students are trained as mediators, then work in pairs to counsel their fellow students in conflict and help them reach mutually agreeable resolutions - stopping conflicts before they escalate to violence, detentions, or suspension. T.A.P. empowers students and strengthens schools, all while also helping students develop communication and leadership skills that will last a lifetime.
