Welcome to the PEERS Project!
The PEERS Project is an amazing program designed to help teens develop skills to choose healthy behaviors and form positive relationships. Our students develop skills in peer-to-peer empowerment, leadership, and communication. Our students are taught to develop useful tools in making healthy life choices, identify their strengths and values, and achieve their goals.
Because of PEERS...
97% could identify characteristics of unhealthy relationships.
95% learned refusal skills that would help them to resist pressure to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and to become sexually active.
85% said Peer Leaders impacted their decision to avoid reckless behavior.
