Youth Peer Support

Youth Peer Support is a collaborative approach where young people provide assistance and guidance to their peers facing similar challenges, such as mental health issues, substance use, or social difficulties. This model leverages shared experiences to create a safe and understanding environment, fostering trust and open communication. Peer support can include emotional support, sharing coping strategies, and helping peers navigate resources. By empowering youths to help one another, this approach enhances resilience and promotes mental well-being, often leading to more effective outcomes than traditional support methods alone.
