December 15, 2021<\/strong>\u00a0– In 2016, WPDI launched the Domestic Harmonizer Program (DHP) at Carnegie Middle School in Carson, California. Now, five years later, the program has expanded to three additional schools in the Greater Los Angeles Area \u2013 with more to come.\u00a0 Since the program\u2019s inception, WPDI has reached\u00a08,790<\/strong>\u00a0students, trained\u00a0158<\/strong>\u00a0peer mediators, and instructed\u00a0247<\/strong>\u00a0teachers and\u00a014<\/strong>\u00a0counselors in the program\u2019s curriculum. WPDI is also currently training more than\u00a090<\/strong>\u00a0new peer mediators so that they can resolve disputes on campus now that in-person learning has resumed at schools.<\/p>\n

Since its launch, the Domestic Harmonizer Program has expanded its curriculum, integrating conflict resolution and restorative justice in academics and extending its offerings to include a thriving peer mediation program, animation videos, a virtual center, an educational game, and trauma-informed trainings for students, parents, and teachers. The program also now offers a collaboration with University of Southern California\u2019s Institute for Theatre\u00a0 & Social Change to students in order to bring awareness to social justice issues as they are experienced by youths. Next year, the program will even expand further to new schools and offer the program\u2019s educational tools across the nation with the public launching of the Domestic Harmonizer Virtual Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to mark this important milestone,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0says Domestic Program Director, Monya Kian.\u00a0\u201cThrough this program, we have helped shed greater light on critical social justice issues, and offered a wide range of restorative practices to schools.\u00a0 I am excited to see what the next five years hold for the growth of this program.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we celebrate the program\u2019s anniversary, we would like to spotlight the profile of five educators and students who have been impacted by the program.<\/p>\n

\"Cheryl\u00ab\u00a0The Domestic Harmonizer Program was the best program to come to Carnegie Middle School.\u00a0 It was amazing to see the students use the conflict resolution and peacebuilding skills in their daily lives. Our staff also used what they learned in handling difficult situations. As a result, we achieved a more positive and respectful learning environment. We were so fortunate to be part of this innovative initiative.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0– Cheryl Nakata l\u00a0Former Principal (Retired) l\u00a0Carnegie Middle School<\/p>\n

\"Joni<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Working with the Domestic Harmonizer team has been nothing short of a pleasure! Karen and Monya are extremely knowledgeable and care about the program’s success in our classrooms. I especially enjoy when these ladies plan and implement the lessons for our students! The students really understand Domestic Harmonizer concepts and put them into practice in the school. The professional development times are wonderful opportunities to add more activities and strategies for our students. Thank you for the time you have spent with our students and staff.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0– Joni Marie Badar l\u00a0English Teacher l\u00a0Stephen White Middle School and STEAM Magnet<\/p>\n

\"Anh\u00ab\u00a0Participating in the Domestic Harmonizer program has been such a great experience for me as an educator.\u00a0 The program that I am really impressed with and am so glad to be a part of is the Peer Mediator Program.\u00a0 I love watching the students learn about the Peer Mediation process and seeing their growth from the first day of training to doing their first Peer Mediation.\u00a0 It is exciting to see the students’ growth in their personal skills of identifying their own unmet needs and helping their peers do the same to help resolve conflict.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0– Anh Nguyen l School Counselor l\u00a0Ball Jr. High School<\/p>\n

\"Justin<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0This program and training was fun. Ms. Karen and Ms. Monya showed us that Conflict mediators are important because they can stop a problem from getting bigger. I would recommend this program because if at least we have ten people at a school to help resolve issues, I think people might be more happy with each other.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong> – Justin S. l 7th Grader l Walker Junior High School<\/p>\n

\"Sophia\u00ab\u00a0Mediation is when two mediators guide disputants to solve their problems. When I took mediation training, I learned a lot that will benefit me and my daily life. These skills are essential to learning because it opens your eyes to a lot of things. One of the main things that mediation has opened my eyes to was being biased and putting myself in other people\u2019s shoes. Ms. Karen and Ms. Monya have taught us many things that can benefit us in many ways, such as restating, not judging people quickly, and most importantly, guiding other people to solve their conflicts calmly and in order. I hope this can make me a better leader because now I have the proper training to help people with a conflict. I would recommend this training to other people. Anyone at any age can do it, and it will help out a lot in the community.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0– Sophia K. l 7th Grader l\u00a0Walker Junior High School<\/p>\n
