The 'Peer Power Program' is a peer training program designed for middle, high school, and higher education students, focusing on 8 core skills: Attending, Empathizing, Summarizing, Questioning, Genuineness, Assertiveness, Confrontation, and Problem Solving. Through a series of exercises, games, and self-awareness techniques, youth and adults involved in the program can gain the basic communication and mediation skills necessary to effectively help their peers."The Professional Strategies" book provides the program leader/facilitator with clear and easy to follow guidelines for implementing the peer power program. After an overview of the peer program philosophy, training structure, and goals, the leader's guide proceeds through the thirteen Modules that are found in the student workbook. For each exercise in the student workbook, this leader's guide provides instructions for introducing and implementing the exercise, time and materials requirements, description of its purpose and goal, and application assignments. Equipped with the "Professional Strategies" book, the program leader (teacher, school counselor, juvenile center officer, mental health professional and human resource professional) can quickly and confidently work through the Peer Power curriculum.
