Becoming a Here4U peer educator provides the chance to influence and lead in your school building. Under the guidance of your school’s Here4U mentor, you will positively impact the culture in your school as part of a team of peers that encourage awareness, diminish stigma, and connect peers to help. Becoming a peer educator is not about providing counseling or diagnosing yourself or your peers.
