This study narratively explores the experiences of five public school counsellors and one
high school teacher using Conversation Peace, a restorative action peer mediation program
published jointly in 2001 by Fraser Region Community Justice Initiatives Association (CJI),
Langley, British Columbia, Canada, and School District #35, Langley, British Columbia,
Canada. This categorical-content analysis (Lieblich, Tuval-Mashiach, & Zilber, 1998) resulted
in data describing 20 common themes, 12 with similar responses, and 8 with varying responses
amongst participants. Two of the similar findings were the crucial importance of (a)
confidentiality within the mediation process, and (b) the school counsellor’s role within the
overall and day-to-day implementation of this peer mediation program. Two of the varying
findings were (a) the time involvement of the school counsellor within the peer mediation
program, and (b) the differences in the number of trained peer mediators and peer mediations
within schools.
