Actually, those can be good programs to use. However, they may have shortcomings.
In conflict resolution, the process is much like court, and the bully might not actually abide by whatever agreement or decisions that were made. It is also possible that the bully might be saving up to retaliate by being made to go to conflict resolution or a peer group in the first place.
In peer groups, there is no guarantee of a fair trial, even if an adult presides. The leader might actually side with the bullies or allow bullying during the meeting, and the victim won't get a fair resolution.
Even worse would be if in either case, the "case" is dismissed "with prejudice," meaning that you can never complain about them again.
Victim-Offender mediation advocates diversion programs for juvenile offenders. The goal of the program is to reform young criminals so that they can benefit society when they are older.
There are many online programmed that offer mediation training. For example, the HKISE, the Mediator.dk, the Mediator.com, etc. They all provide information on mediation training.

When there is a legal dispute between two or more parties, mediation is an alternative to the traditional litigation process. A mediator is a neutral party brought in to assist the disputants involved in a legal argument and help them reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Mediation schools offer a range of options, from workshops to certificate programs to Master of Laws degrees.
There are a wide variety of teenage mediation organizations available for your son or daughter to get more involved in the community, such as SADD, Amnesty International, etc. My suggestion would be to have your child look into organizations that fit his/her interests best and consider joining those.
