Host a training for your club,
friends or classmates
Arizona State University offers the Peer-to-Peer Impact program for high schools. There are three components to the program.
Creating a safe and caring school community training
This one hour training is great for classmates, student club members and friends. Students will learn about the importance of social emotional well-being, practice helpful listening and response strategies when connecting with others in distress, know how and when to refer a friend for help, and identify resources for support at school and in the community. To request this training or receive more information, please complete the High School Program web form.
Creating a road map for your school training
This second one hour training is perfect for student leaders and high school clubs. Students will create an action plan for social emotional well-being at your school, design a campaign for impact and implement strategies, activities and events. The roadmap for impact increases the sustainability and success of the student-led movement at your school by creating structure and accountability.
