Volunteer to make a positive change in our school communities!This community-based, tobacco education peer mentoring program focuses on preventing the onset of regular tobacco use in early adolescence. It teaches techniques to recognize and to resist the pressures related to smoking through peer education. The program's protocol has been created and written with substantial input from middle and high school students. As a result, the intervention deals directly with the type of situations that students presently have to face and does so in their own language. As students assist other students, they will learn to recognize responsibility for their own personal health. Using the concepts of the adolescent peer group and social modeling theory, the program trains a "team" of high school students in a six-hour training session. Those trained high school students then visit a nearby middle school class for four (4) sessions, either once per week or twice per week. Each middle school session lasts 45-50 minute sessions, or for the duration of a class period. For more information, contact Leslie Tong at 408-998-5865, and/or leslie@lungsrus.org |
