HIP is disrupting the traditional health class with a new, innovative peer-to-peer model.
We know it is not enough to just teach kids about world history, geometry, literature and biology. We need to teach them how to cope with anxiety, help a family member with depression, report a sexual assault and support a bullied classmate.
And we've discovered that the best way to influence teens is for them to be taught by their classmates, their friends, their peers.
