Youth peer support programs and services are expanding nationwide, with leaders, funders, and advocates seeking information on how to best invest in and grow youth peer initiatives. To fill this gap, we’ve created a State Youth Peer Support Policy Toolkit, which provides answers to common questions and examples of how states are expanding access to youth peer support.
In the two-part resource, you’ll find: - A comprehensive list of youth peer support FAQs, including youth peer provider age ranges, the current evidence base, potential impacts on youth peer supporter well-being, liability and ethical considerations, and more.
- A state youth peer support field guide with model programs, funding mechanisms, training and supervision requirements, and statewide strategy and workforce development.
Whether you're an advocate, state decision-maker, or policy leader, the toolkit can help you evaluate current efforts, adapt effective models, and develop long-term strategies to advance youth mental health. |
