Abstract
Developing an effective 6th grade Peer Helper Program that can be adapted school-wide.
Description
In many cases, School Counselors with limited time, have difficulty implementing the number of programs and events desired without assistance. Incorporating a peer helper program into your school counseling program can help relieve this concern. Join me in exploring how peer helpers enhance the effectiveness of your program by increasing outreach and the expansion of available services. During our session you will learn how to implement a peer helper program to your sixth graders, seventh graders and/or eighth graders. You will also be provided with the tools to start the program once you return to your school.
