Peer Support in New Zealand is sponsored by Rotary and is promoted by Rotary administered foundations and trusts throughout New Zealand. Funding is obtained from both Rotary clubs and the private sector. The program is designed to provide support between teenagers in secondary schools. Older students are trained to assist younger pupils with activites designed to encourage frank discussion on the problems young students face during their transition into the secondary school environment. By applying the student help
principle, the program taps into the energy of their most valuable resource - the students. |
