After months of training, G-11 students Hana, Dylan and Wes, are officially ISAK’s first Peer Supporters. The students received training based on the Carl Roger’s Person-Centered Approach and now can offer support to fellow students  while  maintaining a professional level of confidentiality. The purpose of Peer Supporters is to give students an option to talk to someone who is similar to them in age, experience and comfort zone. The students’ services will be an addition to the current support system which includes advisory, teachers and staff, medical staff and a mental heath counselor.
