By Judith A. Tindall

The Peer Power Program is a peer training program designed for middle, high school, and higher education students, focusing on 8 core skills: Attending, Empathizing, Summarizing, Questioning, Genuineness, Assertiveness, Confrontation, and Problem Solving. Through a series of exercises, games, and self-awareness techniques, youth and adults involved in the program can gain the basic communication and mediation skills necessary to effectively help their peers.

Picking up where Book One left off, the Peer Power, Book Two: Workbook brings the participating students through a series of Modules, focusing on how to apply the core skills learned in the first half of the program in real life situations. This volume covers topics such as drugs and alcohol abuse, taking care of you through stress management, leadership training, tutoring, group work, enhancing sexual health, disordered eating, suicide prevention, coping with loss, highway traffic safety, bullying reduction, mentoring, crisis management, character education, problem gambling prevention, and tobacco prevention.

Peer Power

This book is wonderful for anyone who is trying to start a peer helper program. It is great for teens and adults. It is especially helpful for community organizations and schools. The material presented should provide enough training to produce well rounded peer helpers in any organization.

Excellent book for students of Clinical Pastoral Education

It teaches you the best way to control and manipulate your conversation in CPE discussion groups. You will be in heavens when you see how simple and efective is this book. I used it, and my CPE group was out of control. I have difficulties with English language, I just memorized the questions and answer formulas as well as physical position in communication. Then I was on control of the conversation. It is very effective for CPE.
