Description:
Peer Helpers are students who provide confidential support to those facing challenges. They are dedicated to helping students in need of a friend, a listener, support or encouragement. The Peer Helper program provides a select group of students with accurate information, the skills to help others more effectively, and places and/or resources to turn to when the problem is beyond their ability. Peer Helpers help students to: identify and understand their problem, brainstorm their options, decide on a course of action, and identify and utilize professional adult resources. This trained group of students is chosen by teachers, counselors and staff. They meet twice a month and attend two training retreats each year. If you would like to access a Peer Helper or if you are interested in becoming a Peer Helper, see Ms. Hoff or Ms. Schill in the counseling office.

Meetings occur the first Monday of the Month from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
