Peer Program Curricula Descriptions
Peer Helping (Peer Helper, Peer Leaders, Peer Mentors etc.) -- Core Curriculum: The role of the peer helper is to help students be successful in their middle or high school lives. The Peer Helper role is to listen to their peers, help them problem solve and refer those students receiving support to professionals, if needed. These students will serve as positive role models and help their peers feel connected to school and community. Peer Helpers will create an ongoing relationship with the students receiving support and will help provide information, skills, and assistance as appropriate and necessary.
Following Core Curriculum training, Peer Helpers can receive additional training to conduct additional service deliveries and roles, such as those listed below.
Peer Mediation (Peer Mediator): After receiving mediation training, peer mediators can help others (disputants) peacefully resolve their differences utilizing a conflict resolution process. They will incorporate their active listening and assertive skills learned in the Peer Helping Core Curriculum training for this specific helping process. They will utilize forms as they mediate others: Agreement to Mediate, Agreement, Follow-up Questionnaire, and Later Follow-up Questionnaire.
Peer Transitions (Peer Ambassador and/or Peer Mentors): These Peer Helpers will provide support to peers who are new to the school or organization whether via transfer or grade level transition. They will assist their peers helping them make connections and become familiar with school or organization logistics, facility, and student guidelines. They will support their peers as long as necessary or defined.
Peer Tutoring (Peer Tutor): Peer Tutors will assist peers by helping them increase academic skills, grades, and attendance and by providing additional support and coaching. Students receive help from tutors with their academic classes, test taking skill, note taking, and study skills. Tutoring enables Peer Helpers to become more personally involved in the learning process of others, to accept responsibility, and to find more meaningfulness in school. Peer Tutors may assist the tutees with attendance, interest in achievement, and connecting to school. Peer Tutors will receive feedback from those that they help and the referring teacher.
Peer Education (Career Development Mentors): These mentors will assist and reinforce the skills taught by the school counselors or other professionals responsible for career development. They may serve as Peer Teachers to help facilitate group lessons around success in the workplace and other topics identified by the school. They will need additional training in group work and developing classroom activities around topics that the students identify as important. They may also assist the counselors in small group discussion around topics led by the professional counselor. Program sponsors will need to assist these mentors to prepare the activity, although the curriculum contains multiple sample lessons from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Peer Program Terminology
NAPPP: National Association of Peer Program Professionals (NAPPP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization.
Peer Helping: Peer Helping defines a variety of interpersonal helping behaviors assumed by trained students who undertake a helping role with others. They are also known as Peer Leaders, Peer Mentors and other titles. Peer Helping includes one-on-one helping relationships, group and discussion leadership, advisement, tutoring, service learning, leadership, conflict mediation, peer education, mentoring, staff outreach support, and all activities of an interpersonal human helping or assisting nature. Peer Helping implies the use of human capital that provides invaluable resources in the helping community.
Programmatic Standards, Ethics, and Rubric: These protocols were designed to serve as implementation models for new peer programs. The Programmatic Standards Rubric also serves as a useful tool for ongoing programs to evaluate themselves in relation to the NAPPP Standards and Ethics. NAPPP adopted the most recent revisions in 2017. The Standards were originally adopted by the National Peer Helpers Association in 1990 after three years of development.
Peer Program Professional: A Peer Program Professional is a trained person who serves in the following roles: Trainer, Administrator, Coordinator, Facilitator, or any role that involves being in charge of Peer Helpers and their projects.
CPPE: Certified Peer Program Educator is a NAPPP certification for which peer helping professionals may apply when they have completed “Establish a Peer Helping Program” or "Training Peer Helpers" training or the equivalent.
CPP: Certified Peer Program is a NAPPP certification that recognizes that the program meets NAPPP Standards and Ethics. Programs may apply after they have completed two years of operation.
Peer Education (Career Development Mentors): These are additionally trained Peer Helpers who assist and reinforce the skills taught by the school counselors or other professionals responsible for career development. They may also facilitate group lessons about success in the workplace and other topics identified by the school counselor.
Peer Mediation (Peer Mediator): These are additionally trained Peer Helpers who assist peers (disputants) with peacefully solving conflict utilizing a specific conflict resolution process.
Peer Transitions (Peer Ambassador and/or Peer Mentors): These are additionally trained Peer Helpers who help peers new to the school by working with them about the logistics of the school, building relation-ships, reviewing student guidelines to help them fit in and support them through the first year, if needed.

our schools and communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected.
As we honor the memories of the dead, their families, the schools, and the communities, we need
to be conscious of the lessons we need to learn as peer professionals leading peer programs. As
observers of the tragedies, we feel sad and helpless at first and then have a variety of feelings
later such as anger and frustration. Often, because of mass media, and tragedies being captured
live on all kinds of social media, we viewers feel as if we were actually experiencing the events.
For some victims, the physical and emotional reactions that accompany crisis may have been put
on hold while they mobilized their survival skills, and only days, even years later, will they be
overcome with a sense of remembering, panic, and helplessness. Traumatic events can devastate
a school, workplace, community, and potentially create long-term problems in morale,
productivity, and general emotional well-being.
Traumatic events can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Some signs of PTSD are:
Certified Peer Programs can be a great source of support for those experiencing any traumatic
event, including shootings, terrorist attacks, flooding, fires, earthquakes, terrible accidents, and
other tragedies.

After basic communication skills training, peer helpers can be trained about various kinds of
disasters and traumatic events.
helpers as soon as possible. This is known as debriefing after a crisis. The peer program
professional needs to provide as much factual information about the disaster as possible to
the trained peer helpers. Then the peer program professional needs to listen for each peer
helper's thoughts and feelings and then decide whether each peer helper is ready to listen to
others and refer, or would be better performing other activities.
Functions that trained peer helpers can perform after a disaster are: assist professionals to
restore order, take control, empathize and reassure, dispel rumors, keep people busy with
other things, observe and identify distressed individuals, normalize and validate feelings,
reassure others that they are safe, listen, listen, listen, encourage dialogue, be supportive, give
positive statements, and refer to professionals when appropriate.
We know that tragedy can strike anywhere at any time. Hopefully, the above ideas for refreshing
critical incident stress management training or new critical incident stress management training
will assist peer helpers to better help their peers in trying times.

To be effective, peer helpers need training in critical incident stress management:
After basic communication skills training, peer helpers can be trained about various kinds of
disasters and traumatic events.
- Train peer helpers how to look for and recognize signs of PTSD, distress, dysfunction,withdrawal, etc.
- Practice role plays about different kinds of traumatic events.
- Work with peer helpers to understand the concept of taking care of themselves first before trying to help others. (Often peer helpers try to do too much and need help themselves)
- Train peer helpers in media awareness.
- Have peer helpers write down what the role of a peer helper is and be prepared to talk about the role and what they can do in supporting others.
- Provide feedback to peer helpers and debrief the training.
