Natural Helpers is a program designed to support and educate students to help their peers. The theory behind Natural Helpers is that often kids will go to peers with a problem before seeking out adults. By identifying students who are resources to their friends and training them on topics such as communication skills, limit setting, and crises management, you are providing them with necessary tools and an understanding of how to better manage peer situations.

Additionally, all Natural Helpers are provided information on school and community resources that can be shared when and if needed. All Natural Helpers must be selected and invited to participate. They must successfully complete extensive three day training and attend follow up meetings throughout the school year.
