Intro to Youth Work for Young Leaders - Peer Mentoring
This Y2Bee Peer Mentor training aims to support young people (14 - 18 years old) in their community as peer mentors and increase young people’s emotional resilience through improving young people’s understanding of how to manage their own mental health.
Acknowledging that alongside their youth workers, young people will often turn to their most trusted friends for advice and help. Equally, it is often friends who will identify if one of their peers is struggling somehow or something is ‘not quite right’. The purpose of the Peer Mentor training is to positively build upon this experience and support young people with appropriate training and methodology to be effective.
The training will cover: What it means to be a peer mentor
How being a peer mentor can help young people
Active listening skills and practice
Creative tools to support peer mentor-mentee relationship building
Safeguarding, boundaries and confidentiality
Considerations for setting up peer mentoring at your youth group
Lunch and refreshments are included.
Registration
Young people must be accompanied on the training by at least one youth worker from their youth group. Places are limited.
When registering, please:
- Choose a ticket per youth worker and a ticket per young person
- Provide dietary requirements when asked (lunch will be provided)
- Provide emergency contact details when asked
Youth worker training is in high demand – please help us support youth workers to access the training and development they deserve with these simple steps:
- Tell us if you cannot attend more than 24hrs in advance. This allows us to free up the space for another youth worker (many sessions are oversubscribed) and means you will avoid being charged the £25 fee for late-notice cancellation or non-attendance.
- Check you can join with camera and microphone. Our online training is engaging, interactive and discussion-based – not a webinar format. Our members regularly tell us this is better learning and we are confident you will gain more.
- Eventbrite sends you all your information by email. You will receive your ticket at booking and be sent a reminder – with any login details if online – approximately 24hrs in advance. If there are materials and handouts, your facilitator will send these too.
Thank you for using our training and helping us to continue supporting the needs of our members and community-based youth work.
