“Presenting in class”

Feedback from Students

Feedback gained through questionnaires distributed at the end of each session to all youth group participants and students has shown appreciation of the peer led sessions and an increase in awareness, knowledge, beliefs and new consideration of relationship issues, i.e.:

“I learned that there are different forms of domestic violence.”
