Peer leaders are a tremendous
resource, and with the proper training are very effective in educating their
peers on substance abuse and other subjects.
The
Narconon Peer Leader Training was developed as a result of many years
experience in the field of drug prevention and the education of young people on
alcohol and other drugs.
The key element of the program is
communication skills. The students participate in training exercises that
increase their ability to focus attention, confront issues they might otherwise
shy away from, develop listening skills, relay a communication effectively and
most importantly, raise their confidence level.
These
simple, yet extremely effective, exercises require the participants to
demonstrate their competence in the relay of information to their peers.
