S2S (STUDENT TO STUDENT)/PEER HELPERS

• Our Student to Student Program is also known as Peer Helpers. The Peer Helpers Program is a comprehensive, peer-to-peer prevention and support program. Our mission is to empower students to be academically, socially, and emotionally successful; to recognize and resolve conflict; to value diversity; and to be advocates for positive change and healthy choices. 

  More Information on the Peer Helper Program can be found at https://thriveway.com/.

  While the focus may seem to be centered around bullying prevention, mental health, family dynamics, etc., Peer Helpers offer their fellow students encouragement and assistance with the emotional, societal, behavioral, and educational challenges that they face in day-to-day life.They serve as tutors, mentors, mediators, and advocates for their peers. They also assist new students in transitioning between schools and communities. Our Peer Helpers assist with any programs or activities that are held at Lisenby and tour guests around the school. 

  Our Peer Helpers hold a meeting once a month, or on an as-needed basis. They can easily be identified by their t-shirts they wear during any special activities. There are certain weeks/months throughout the year that our Peer Helpers participate in projects.
