Peer Mentoring<br />

There has been much research into the issue of bullying in schools over recent<br />

decades which has shown that the consequences can be severe, including<br />

low self-esteem, absenteeism from school, poor academic attainment and<br />

relationship difficulties. Good peer relationships and friendships have been<br />

found to be important in buffering the negative effects of bullying. Where<br />

friends are lacking, specially trained peer supporters can provide a valuable<br />

service to younger students. Peer Mentoring training involves working with<br />

groups of older students within a school to provide training in key skills<br />

including active listening, summarising, the use of open questions and problem<br />

solving. Kent Educational <strong>Psychology</strong> Service can provide Peer Mentoring<br />

training for students, as well as the option for on-going support in providing<br />

supervision for mentors.<br />
