Project information

  • Title: Peer Assistant Listener
  • Company: San Dieguito HS Academy
  • Project date: 2020 - 2022
  • Project URL: PALs Website
  • Selected out of 200 applicants, I was one of fourteen Peer Assistant Listeners (PALs)
  • PALs are essentially peer-therapists. We have our own office, are able to call students out of class, and are trusted to have confidential conversations about anything with peers
  • Throughout the year, my team and I would put together mental-health-focused presentations and present them to almost all students at school (2,200 students)
