Teaching Peer Support for Caring and Co-operation - Talk time, a Six-Step Method for 9-12 Year Olds

This book offers a six-step model that harnesses the skills of popular young people to help others who may have low social status.

Ruth and Tina draw upon their experiences to provide a peer support programme that encourages inclusive prosocial processes for young people aged nine to twelve. Drawing upon the philosophy of a Circle of Friends, they have developed a six-step programme that harnesses the skills of popular young people to help others who may have low social status.

The Talk Time programme builds on the message that relationships are what matter most and emphasizes that relationships happen through listening, talking and understanding others.
