BACKGROUND
The Mental Health Foundation was inspired to develop a peer education project by two teenage girls at Highgate School in London, who in 2015 supported each other and campaigned for better mental health awareness in schools. The charity worked with consultancy Cernis to co-produce a peer education syllabus and training plan with pupils from years 7 and 12 at the school.
