| dc.description.abstract | Peer counselling has received attention as more school counsellors realize the value of incorporating the student-helping-student model into their programmes. Although the literature encourages secondary school counsellors to implement peer counselling concepts, little empirical support exists for the peer counselling concepts. This study developed a systematic peer counsellor training programme for use with secondary school students. The effectiveness of the training programme, as measured by accurate empathy, and changes in self-esteem of the peer counsellors was assessed within a pre-test-posttest control group design. Analysis of covariance yielded significant results for the trainees' acquisition of facilitative skills; however, significant results were not obtained on either aspect of the self-esteem assessment. Recommendations for future research and implications for the present study for school counsellors and field staff were discussed. | en_US |
