Our Flagship Youth Program
Peer Trauma Responder Program™
(PTRP)
The Peer Trauma Responder Program (PTRP) is an 8-week trauma-informed youth leadership program for ages 10–21. It helps young people understand how grief, trauma, stress, bullying, peer pressure, conflict, community violence, and other real-life challenges can affect thoughts, emotions, the body, behavior, relationships, and decision-making while building practical skills for healthy coping, communication, peer support, leadership, and connection to additional help when needed.
​
PTRP does not train youth to become therapists, counselors, or crisis workers. It teaches youth to care responsibly: to recognize signs of distress, regulate themselves, respond with empathy and healthy communication, know when to refer, rebuild confidence and resilience, and reach back through leadership and service.
