Taking Your Peer Helping Program to the Next Level: How to Design and Deliver High Powered Retreats

• Address the challenges of "harnessing" teen energy and how to overcome potential obstacles
• Discuss logistics such as choosing a site, securing staff and volunteer support, dealing with transportation, and being prepared for the unexpected
