STUDENTS LEND AN EAR TO TROUBLES One of the newest clubs on campus this year was the Peer Faciltators, head- ed by Mr. Tim Allen, Mrs. Sue Tobin, and Mr. Phil Samuels. The members were a counseling center extension, and helped students with problems. In the beginning of the year the members com- pleted a 20-hour training program to develop counseling skills. The purpose of the club was to provide a self-help op- portunity for the teenagers with pro- blems. The members of the Peer Facilitators had three specific roles: to give support to kids new to El Toro, pro- vide individual help for problems, and get the person involved in group rap sessions. The members had to be sen- sitive to when to send the students to counselors at El Toro. El Toro's Peer Facilitators extended a hand to all of Saddleback Valley. They visited elementary and junior high schools and provided activities, events, and small group discussions. Some of the things discussed had to do with alcoholism, divorce, and family problems. In January, the Peer Facilitators did a skit for an elementary school and after- wards sat down and talked to the children about the skit, and what pro- blems the children had seen in it. The Peer Facilitators main purpose was to help to cope . 1 — Peer Facilitators — Top row: Pat Cov- ington. and Mr. Phil Samuels. Second row: Shelly Karsten, Jawon Shin. Stacey Runyon, Fred Knight.
