Youth Peer Coaches Program for Students with Discipline Issues
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study trains young people who've had school discipline problems to become peer coaches—mentors who help other students. Researchers want to see if having peers who've faced similar challenges can help improve school behavior and relationships.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have received at least one disciplinary referral (warning, detention, or similar) at school this year
