Congrats on another successful Peer 2 Peer Regional Training! United General’s new P2P Program Director, Olivia Geulich, along with their two Program Assistants and Peer Health Educators, Luke Fincher and Rebecca, inspired the next group of High School Peer Health Educators!Luke is a Trustee for our Coalition and supports local youth as the lead of Rock Solid, a youth prevention team of the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition, during his college breaks and summers. Luke helped grow the Peer 2 Peer Program in 2020 when the pandemic closed schools. Luke was in high school and saw the need to share this essential information with his peers. Luke pivoted and adapted this material to an online workshop. We are grateful for Luke’s continued support of growing the good in our community!
Peer 2 Peer allows young people to learn prevention science material that will be shared with their peers in their schools and community. Topics covered include Social Norms, Healthy Youth Survey Data, CorrectingMisperceptions about underage substance use, Refusal Skills, Media Literacy, How to spot AI content, and more… We commend those students who spent the day learning and engaging in this training. We also shout out to these college students who continue to lead this training to help pay it forward to the next generation of health advocates.
