Students are actively helping their peers and addressing youth mental health in school districts throughout the state. School-based peer-led wellness programs are in place in 300 schools or districts, reaching the majority of Wisconsin’s 421 school districts. Youth leading these groups, along with their adult advisors, help to improve mental health and wellness in their school communities, which often radiates out to their broader community. A variety of programs are in place, including Hope Squad, NAMI Raise Your Voice Club, REDgen School, and Sources of Strength. Each dot of the map represents a school or district participating in one of these peer-led wellness programs.
