How Peer Mentorship Builds Safer & Stronger School Communities
Description
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most powerful, but often overlooked, bully prevention tools: peer mentorship.
We talk about what happens when older students step into leadership roles to support younger ones, and how schools can create structured programs that actually work.
Peer mentorship helps younger students feel seen and supported, while older students build leadership skills and empathy. It’s one of the simplest ways to shift school culture from the inside out.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to strengthen a program you already have, this episode will give you ideas, inspiration, and practical takeaways.
