The PEER ACTIVE LISTENER SERVICE (PALs) are a group of determined Sixth Form Students at Gosford Hill School, whose aim is to support other students, helping them to stay emotionally healthy and safe, by offering a listening ear.
We are a team of dedicated Senior Students who work in liaison with the school counsellor to ensure that every student has access to support, to maintain good mental health. We know that when we are happy and feel good, we can do our best learning.
The group of PALs have been through a rigorous application process, interview, training programme and assessment, which taught us how to listen in helpful ways. We were also informed about safeguarding, confidentiality, and being a figure of trust for any student in the school, whether their concerns are big or small.
Through activity-based sessions, students work with us to talk about any worries or apprehensions they may have. This will help them to make what may seem a big problem into something manageable and no longer overwhelming.
We want students to know that we’re here to hear!
