School bullying affects many students, and parents often feel helpless. In Geneva as elsewhere, there are solutions. School mediation is one of them, provided that it is used at the right time. Recognizing school bullying: When a student experiences repeated verbal, physical, or psychological violence from one or more classmates in a relationship of domination. The signs that should alert parents are: refusal to go to school, stomach aches or headaches in the morning; sudden drop in grades; damaged or lost belongings; unusual requests for money; isolation, sadness, irritability; anxious use of the phone or social media (cyberbullying). What should you do as a parent? 1. Listen without dramatizing: Let your child tell the story, without interrupting them or promising to keep it a secret. Take note of the facts: dates, places, people, messages. These elements will be useful for the future. 2. Inform the school. Make an appointment with the teacher or the management. The school has the responsibility to act and often has internal resources (school infirmary, psychologist, educators). Ask what measures will be taken and when you will be informed. 3. Protect and support the child. Value them, maintain their activities and friendships outside of school. If the distress is significant, a follow-up by a healthcare professional is recommended. When is school mediation useful? Mediation is not the first response to serious harassment: in this case, the priority is to protect the victim and stop the acts. It is, however, very useful: for a conflict between students that has not yet taken the form of harassment; to restore dialogue between parents and the school when the relationship has become tense; after the disciplinary action has been taken; to rebuild a calm classroom atmosphere. The mediator, external to the institution, receives each family individually and then organizes an exchange where each point of view can be expressed. The goal is not to identify a culprit, but to find concrete commitments that everyone can keep. How does school mediation work? Individual interviews with the families and, if necessary, the teachers; a common meeting adapted to the age of the children; a simple written agreement with commitments and a follow-up point a few weeks later. Our team works in Geneva with families and institutions. Discover our school mediation service. And what about teenagers? In adolescence, conflicts often move home: the bullied child may withdraw, refuse to talk about it, and the tension mounts with the parents. Parent-adolescent mediation can then help to reopen the dialogue. Common questions Should I file a complaint in case of school harassment? When the facts are serious (violence, threats, dissemination of images), a complaint can be considered. First talk to the school and, if necessary, with a lawyer. Can mediation take place outside of school? Yes. Family mediation can take place in our premises, in a neutral and confidential setting.
