Many students facing mental health challenges feel isolated and unable to speak openly, especially in school environments where vulnerability is often misunderstood.

​

Twogere’s peer support groups create safe, student-led spaces where 6–8 young people meet regularly to share experiences, build empathy, and learn practical coping strategies. Facilitated by trained youth advocates—many with lived experience—these groups explore topics such as stress, self-esteem, grief, and resilience in age-appropriate, supportive ways.

​

The impact is clear: participants gain confidence, reduce feelings of isolation, and become active supporters of one another. Teachers report improved student engagement, greater empathy, and earlier help-seeking. What starts as peer support often evolves into a wider school movement—normalizing mental health conversations and fostering a culture of care.
