WHAT ARE YOUTH SAYING?
“I see myself now as capable to help others and look after myself better. I feel I have a closer relationship with one of my friends who I have used my knowledge from the course to help. I also feel that in my day to day life that I feel more confident and take more time in my day to use some of the self-care tactics I learned.”
“I now know how I can better handle difficult conversations with my friends if they are struggling by using the communication skills learned from the course. I feel more confident in supporting others.”
“The training has allowed me to recognize my strengths and feel more confident in myself, as well as educating me on how to better relationships with others and given me the skills needed to help people and be there for them.”
“The training has definitely impacted me. If someone is upset, I now try to really think about the reasons they're upset - what's been stirred within them? I'm much more aware of how our community needs people with Peer Supporter qualities, and I'm hoping to help my community increase the number of diverse Peer Supporters. I would like to go into Medicine, so this has 100% helped me become a more caring, understanding person. Thank you so much.”
