Peer-to-Peer Ministry

June 17, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Pastor Aaron Werner, Presenter

Peer-to-Peer Ministry creates safe places to find support and a training ground where young people learn to welcome, listen to, and accompany their peers. Our young people have a great deal of pressure placed on them. Levels of anxiety and depression are rising. My colleagues and I have worked with thousands of youth and this is what we hear:

“Yes, I am in conversation with friends considering suicide or self-harm.”

“Yes, I know someone struggling with an addiction or an eating disorder.”

“Yes, I talk with friends about relationship troubles and stress.”

And one hundred percent of our youth say, “YES! I want to know better how to help my friends.”

Learn how to create safe places to for young people to find and give support, practicing fundamental welcoming, listening, and helping skills.
