Welcome, change-makers.
The PEERS Project creates an influence network that empowers teens to choose healthy behaviors and form positive relationships. Participants are taught to use a decision-making process that will help them identify and strengthen their values and achieve their goals. This is accomplished through our interactive, socially relevant, peer-led and adult supervised curriculum based on research that is demonstrated to increase personal efficacy and self-confidence.
