Peer Helpers
The Peer Helper Program was designed as a part of the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation Inc. to provide a support group among high school students. The program began at Foley High School and is now active at seven other Baldwin County schools-Gulf Shores High School, Robertsdale High School, Daphne High School, Spanish Fort High School, Central Baldwin Middle School, Baldwin County High School, and Bayside Academy. Through this program, students participate in an accredited course as a part of the school's curriculum in which life lessons are taught. Pressures of being a teenager include parental divorce, weight issues, family sickness, death of a fellow student, depression and other issues that have a negative effect on all aspects of the student's life. This program discusses these issues and trains the students on how to listen to and help advise fellow students who may be struggling with such problems. These peers provide assistance to students dealing with similar issues. Students are provided with the names and phone numbers of the Peer Helpers and are encouraged to talk with them about any issue they need help with, no matter how small or large it may be.
