What Others are Saying About this Program
“I work in retail and interact with many people. Before this program, I saw a lot of down days and a simple ‘How’s your day?’ rarely opened a real conversation. This program gave me practical ways to connect and help. I mostly speak with adults, and they need support too.”
— Peer Mentor participant
“I came in stressed and not feeling great. After the training and activities, I felt much better and genuinely learned how to manage my stress and support others with theirs.”
