Youth Conflict • Take our survey!

Thank you for taking the time to help Martha's Vineyard Mediation Program deepen our understanding of conflict for young people on Martha's Vineyard. Please know that it is our policy at MVMP to keep all personal information confidential, including the answers on this survey.

MVMP was established in 1984 to help Island residents by providing education, outreach, mediation, conflict coaching, facilitation and related services to help prevent and resolve conflicts.

In 2018 we broadened our reach by providing mediation education and training to young people ranging from 6th grade to college-aged students. Our goal with this survey is to learn more about conflicts for young people so we can better provide effective conflict resolution services through community input and collaboration.

At the end of this survey, please consider providing us with your preferred contact information so we can follow up with you about our programs.

Testimonials

“I was terrified when I came into the court. It seemed like the end of the world. Thanks to my compassionate and understanding mediators, I was able to have a productive conversation with someone I considered an adversary. I couldn’t believe we were able to work it out without going in front of a judge. Thank you MVMP.”

– Small Claims Client

“I was really not looking forward to mediation. But it turned turned out to be relatively pleasant. I really enjoyed working with the two of you. I plan to recommend mediation to others.”

– Divorce Client

“You brought us all together. It was awesome. I am so relieved. All our people felt uplifted, more united and part of a team. In particular one Board member said she felt she was taken care of with kindness and wisdom. We all know each other much better, have defined our work together and are in such better shape than we were when we started. Thank you MVMP.”

– Facilitation Client

“If you have the chance to do Conflict Coaching, DO IT! It was eye opening for me. My coach was kind, insightful and such a great listener. Most importantly, I learned so much about myself and about how I handle conflict. I now have a good, solid conflict management plan for the future.”

– Conflict Coaching Client

“It was valuable to help me handle a current conflict in my workplace. Putting a positive spin on conflict was an eye-opener for me. It gives me a structure to address problems. We had a very serious conflict at work recently so this is very important and relevant to me right now.”
