Your Power, Your Choice (HDSB ONLY)

Service Description

The focus of this presentation is to help educate students about the impacts of peer pressure from peers at school and social media. We identify our biological need to belong as a reason peer pressure can be hard to withstand, and identify unhealthy and healthy coping strategies. We end on strategies we can use to handle peer pressure by clearly stating boundaries, and relying on healthy friendships. While this presentation aligns with the Grade 8 health curriculum, it is appropriate for Grades 6 and up.
