(Batesville, IN) – St. Louis School (SLS) has introduced the 2023-24 Peer Mentors.

SLS Peer Mentors meet will each week with younger students to guide them through tough emotions, social situations, and issues with friends.

They recently participated in “Relationship Framework” training with school counselor Danielle Becker.

This training includes five components of what makes up a developmental relationship: sharing power; expanding possibilities; expressing care; providing support, and challenging growth.

The mentors will each soon be paired with a younger student to act as a role model for them.
