Teenagers often find it easier to talk about their problems and issues with
other students. And by helping teens identify and talk about their issues,
peer helpers also learn something about themselves. The Peer Helping
Training Course helps teens learn how to be there for each other. The
practical training course is divided into two sections. Part One (Units 1-9)
introduces the skills students need to be good communicators. Part Two
(Units 10-23) deals with specific problems such as peer pressure, drugs,
death and AIDS. Appendices contain a sample letter to parents of peer
helpers, glossary, community resources and an excellent bibliography.
This training course was originally developed by Maggie Phillips for the
Pajaro Valley Unified School District in Watsonville, Calif. Joan Sturkie, an
active consultant for school peer counseling programs, revised and
expanded this edition of the program. This is a complete curriculum and
teacher’s guide for a high-school course, which can also be used
with some junior high-school students. Four new chapters have been
added to this edition.
