Through our 25 years of experience, Peer Mediation And Skills Training (PMAST) has witnessed the devastating effects of youth struggling to deal with issues of conflict and bullying. We believe that proactively providing youth with the skills to handle these issues can significantly reduce bullying, violence, stress, and issues affecting a person's wellbeing.
We provide services and programs to develop and practice conflict management, relationship management, emotional health and wellness, resiliency, and leadership skills. These are life skills which they will use throughout their lives.
Our youth represent a broad cross-section of the population including, but not limited to, Indigenous youth, new Canadians, youth at risk, LGBTQ2+, and those from various socio-economic backgrounds.
By providing training to youth, families, and communities, we are positively changing the dynamics of these families for now and in the future.
