Peer Support Role Model

813 Words4 Pages

Peer support is a role in the college community that requires giving help founded on key principles of respect, shared responsibility, and mutual agreement of what is helpful. Peer support is based on supporting others and understanding another person’s situation empathetically through experiences one has been through of emotional and psychological pain. Peer support at Kildare is highly important and crucial. I believe this because the younger students need a role model to look up to. I also believe this is true because I was once in the position of year 8s, I understand how it feels to suddenly change environments. I believe the peer support leaders are seen as older sisters. I believe others feel the same way because most of the students …show more content…

Dealing with my first session, I found that the year 8s felt quite scared of the peer support leaders and were very shy to speak. I understood how the students felt, as I was once in their shoes. I dealt with the nerves of the students by showing how friendly I was by greeting them around the school grounds and really speaking to them. It is important to support one another, as this strengthens communities and makes a large impact on people. Supporting other people shows how you continue gods biding, helping others shows how you are following Gods footsteps. Doing this will get other people to feel good inside and would want to keep the streak of helping others going. As this also results in improving your physical health by decreasing the amount of stress. Peer support in our Kildare community shows leadership deep within. Taking care of those around you would not just allow you to be appreciated but it could also change their lives. The greatest reward of helping others is how you feel after you’ve made an impact on someone’s life. Jesus reminds us how important it is to serve others as a part of leading a Christian

My two mentors, Kelly and Brooke, were awesome, showing me how to keep up with these older children while also keeping peace within the chaotic classroom.

  • Summarise The Importance Of Effective Communication For Support Staff

    371 Words  | 2 Pages

    Good communication is the key to effectively managing support staff. If you build in opportunities for everyone to feed in their views (in the form of meetings for example), identifying those pupils who require support and assigning a suitable support worker to that pupil, will be much easier because you are harvesting the best from your colleagues; targeting their strengths and weaknesses. Ensuring that all support staff can access information is also important; if your only communication method is by email for example, it is imperative you check that everyone has regular access to a computer or a personal email account. It is always a good idea to deliver information via a variety of methods but ensure this is done consistently, so that people know what to expect and where to obtain or access information.

Peer support even offset the negative effects of discrimination. Interestingly, all participants gave their school a good supportive rating, despite around 80% of them reporting they have experienced at least one discrimination act in school. However, students said that these discrimination acts did not happen often. Additionally, males were found to have more adult discrimination and less adult support.

    (Matthew 20:26–28). It is sad commentary in the world today that we have many leaders but very few servants. Many people want to “exercise authority,” but only a few want to serve. We should have an attitude to be like Christ’s in that we recognize others better than ourselves and do nothing out of vanity or selfishness. Rather, we must look out for the interests of another, and this means every leader is a

Service is an important aspect of life for not only Catholics but also every single person in the world. By performing various acts of service in our communities, a person’s life can be greatly improved just through a simple act of kindness and love from the person’s heart. Not only can an act of service be beneficial to the person or organization that the volunteer is performing the service for, but it can also be beneficial to the person who is partaking in this act of service for another human being. No matter your age, your background, or your religious affiliation, service is a crucial part of our everyday lives and everyone should get involved in this and do a service out of the good of their hearts.
