Pike County High School

Peer Helpers are trained students who offer their fellow students encouragement and assistance with the day-to-day challenges. They serve as tutors, mentors, mediators, and advocates for their peers, and assist new students in transitioning between schools and communities. Peer Helpers are role models and assistants to youth who may not have either at home. They are trained to recognize when their peers may have a problem, listen to fellow students confidentially, and assist them with emotional, societal, or academic struggles.
