The Peer Helper's Pocketbook is a quick and easy guide written
for peer helpers/counselors in junior high school, high school and college.
Everything needed for effective peer support is here: a review of basic
communication skills, counseling tips, a synopsis of information on issues
and a section for important referral telephone numbers — for those times
when more help is indicated. Put a copy in the faculty room — it is a handy
reference for faculty, counselors and parents.
The Peer Counselor's Pocketbook, now out of print, contained
the same basic information as The Peer Helper's Pocketbook. It was
the original edition, which was written by consultant Joan Sturkie and
peer counselor Valerie Gibson for those involved in peer counseling programs
(ISBN: 0-89390-162-8).
