Peer pressure education helps students develop the confidence to make their own choices and stand by their values, even when faced with outside influence. Learning to recognize both positive and negative peer pressure is an important part of social emotional learning (SEL) and healthy decision-making.
Our collection of peer pressure counseling resources includes interactive games, workbooks, and group activities designed for school counselors, therapists, and educators. These important resources teach children and teens how to handle peer influence, resist risky behaviors, and support friends in making good choices. Group programs encourage open discussions and roleplay around friendship, integrity, and responsibility.
