What is a Hope Squad?
What is a Hope Squad?
Our group is made up of Boise High students who were nominated by their peers, for being trustworthy, kind, a good listener, and someone who is nonjudgmental
We meet daily in Ms. Rotchford's room during 3rd period to talk and learn about mental health. We get help from Mrs. Tipping - Boise's social worker, all our counselors, and Mrs. Hocevar - Boise's psychologist.
We are trained how to recognize signs that our peers may be in distress and how to reach out, and to connect peers with help and hope.
We work to promote mental wellness at Boise High, in authentic ways that work for students. We want to foster an inclusive, safe community, reduce stigma, and build awareness.
