This session explains the processes involved with getting a peer program of the ground at St. Johns Youth Service in South Australia. A major component to getting the program running was a research project that explored which participation models work best for peer programs. The finding of this research is presented here. If viewers would like to see the research paper from the project please visit www.stjohnsyouthservices.org.au. This presentation was given by Bria Partridge, St. Johns Youth Service and Krystal Hancock, a young person.
