The aim of the Peer Leadership program is to foster youth’s confidence in being supportive community members, including how to respond to disclosures of abuse and thoughts of suicide, and how to practice self care. We are also looking to form connections between youth from across the region and help them to feel more comfortable advocating for services and programs they would like to see in their communities.
