Peer Education Program.

• In 1998, SLPPA implemented a youth program called “Peer Helpers Initiative” at four (4) Secondary Schools.  Today the program has grown to include over twenty-three Secondary and tertiary level Schools. The demand for the program is ever increasing as news of its success grows around the island.  This program aims to have school age children trained with the full course of sexual and reproductive health and rights curriculum. Further, after training and certification the Peer Helper works with peers as a bridge to the school guidance counsellors and SLPPA staff. Peer Helpers also service as support to their peers for general guidance on SRH issues.
