On Thursday, October 5th, some of the BCMS Peer to Peer group met with other middle school and high school students around the county to celebrate this year's Kick-Off for our campaign. During the conference, members learned about mental health and illnesses, coping skills, and best practices for communicating with peers. This conference was a collaborative workshop that served as a planning session for students to discuss this year's topics. This year's topics will align with the Primary Assets: Positive Peers, Self-Esteem, and Sense of Purpose. The BCMS's Peer to Peer group is excited for this year's activities at the middle school.
