About my class

Our ultimate focus in our Peer Helper class is Teen Mental Health Awareness for ourselves and our fellow peers. Some of our main topics to learn more about are self-care, self-love, mindfullness, toxic relationships, grief, social media challenges, communinication with others, anxiety, depression, teenage stressors, family struggles, addicition, abuse, academic awareness, self-harm, and suicide. With these gifted resources, Peer Helpers will be provided with an ehanced ability to share positive mental health with others in a safe enviornment. Each Peer Helper will be given the opportunity to enlighten peers in our building by sharing positive mental health awareness. Every week, Peer Helpers meet amongst a small group of younger peers and participate in a healthy activity. Activities vary but all revolve around improving teen mental health. Other times throughout the school day, helpers meet with students on an individual basis to listen, share experiences, give advice, and show empathy. The resources will be given to others for personal use at home or school and will provide a physical feel and attachment to the emotion or troubling situation the student is experiencing that particular day. Our Peer Helpers appreciate you taking the time to consider sponsoring our passion of helping other teens in a personal mental health crisis. Donating resources for us to share and use will make a positive difference in our school, community, country, and world.
