peer-led interventions

Peer-led interventions are programs where individuals with similar experiences or backgrounds lead efforts to promote positive behavior and health. These peer leaders act as relatable role models, sharing knowledge, providing support, and encouraging others to make healthy choices. The approach leverages trust and understanding among peers to increase engagement and effectiveness in addressing issues like substance abuse, mental health, or violence. By involving people who genuinely understand the challenges faced, these interventions can create a more comfortable environment for change and foster a sense of community and empowerment.
