Peer First Responders Application
We're so happy that you're applying to become a Peer First Responder! Here's what you'll need to know before you apply:

We're looking for Upper School students who are interested in supporting other students with social-emotional challenges and who are passionate about mental health awareness. As a Peer First Responder, you would be available for students who might want to talk to you for support or before seeking help from a counselor. Additionally, you will be responsible for mental health related school-wide workshops.

If you are interested in applying, give a read through these requirements:
  • You must attend all PFR meetings and trainings
  • You must be open to working with the counselors
  • You must be comfortable in your ability to support others who might be struggling with difficult emotions or topics
  • You must be willing to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise directed by the counselors
  • You must be willing to lead at least one whole-day, school-wide wellness activity

What we look for when selecting Peer First Responders from our applications: Students who are empathetic and natural listeners and have been thoughtful in their applications (at least 3-4 sentences for each question, specific examples.) We also seek out PFRs with different backgrounds and experiences.  

Interviews may take place before final decision.
 
DUE: Thursday, September 8th!
