Since the formation of the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation, our mission has been to provide Baldwin County communities with programs, services, and resources that support the social and emotional well-being of our youth. Through the decades, the Foundation has grown and developed, and now provides the Peer Helpers PLUS program to all public schools throughout Baldwin County, as well as many private schools and homeschooling cooperatives.
P.A.T.H. is a comprehensive, prevention and coping skill development curriculum, with lessons that address bullying and technology, mental health and suicide, drugs and alcohol, the four types of abuse, as well as age-appropriate healthy coping strategies.
Peer Helpers are a diverse group of students within each school, brought together, and taught skills to equip them with strategies necessary to support their peers through daily issues and life obstacles. The Peer Helpers act as a friendly face to incoming new students, act as mentors and tutors to fellow students, raise awareness around trending issues in their schools and communities, and support their schools by creating a climate of kindness.
The program also includes the Program Portal, which is utilized by Peer Helpers and Coordinators to access the current curricula, assess program implementation, and collect support data to ensure/promote the well-being of students.
Program Coach
The Foundation understands that simply providing our schools with an amazing program is not enough. For the program to be successful, the coordinators and students within each school must feel supported. The Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation now provides a dedicated Peer Helpers PLUS Program Coach, who is available for on-campus training and support for the teachers, educators, and counselors acting as Peer Helpers PLUS Coordinators within Baldwin County.
