Peer Counseling

The Peer Helpers program consists of students that are trained by the school counselor. These Helpers have been trained in communication skills and have learned how to apply them in helping another person with a personal problem. The responsibilities of the Peer Helpers include:

  • being available to the person needing help, whenever possible

  • to listen

  • to keep confidentiality

  • to help the person solve their own problems

  • to refer the person to a professional when needed

Peer Helpers are available to students when they would like the help of a peer rather than a faculty member. Currently this school year, we have 13 Peer Helpers and their names and phone numbers can be found on the official Girls School and Boys School bulletin boards.
