C H A I R M A N ’ S R E P O R T

This has been a very successful year for the Peer Support Foundation. For the first time in many years, we have ended the year with a full complement of training and development staff. This has resulted in increased attendance at workshops, which has in turn produced a substantial increase in workshop income. Our membership continues to grow, and our expansion into Queensland and Tasmania is developing very well. During the year we adopted Peer Support Australia as a trading name, reflecting the wider geographic spread of our services. Towards the end of the financial year, we were invited by the federal Department of Health and Ageing to present a proposal to run pilot programs in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region of Western Australia. This invitation arose out of our expansion into Queensland and Tasmania under the National Suicide Prevention Strategy. Our training and development team welcomed a new trainer, Zoe Dawson, who has quickly become a valuable member of the team. During the year three new modules were developed, one for the secondary school program and two for primary school. Our financial situation has continued to improve, thanks to ongoing support from a number of philanthropic organisations and government departments, substantial receipts from copying royalties and the increased workshop and membership income referred to previously. Specific grants have been received to enable us to redevelop our website, to refurbish our offices and to develop a new secondary module focusing on values. The fact that we have had such a successful year is due to the skill, application and hard work of our General Manager, Sharon Austin and her staff. I would like to place on record my sincere thanks for their work, along with the thanks of all board members. At the 2007 Annual General Meeting, our Deputy Chairman, Karel Wearne, announced that she would not be seeking reappointment as a director for the 2007-2008 year. Karel joined the board in 1990, and her background in teaching, counselling and psychology has been of great benefit to us during her 17 years as a director. I am sure that the other directors join me in thanking Karel for her contribution over this period, and in wishing her well for the future. James Dibble, who has been a director since 1983, and who was chairman from 1983 to 2000, has had a run of bad health for much of the year, which has made it difficult for him to attend board meetings. We all wish him a speedy recovery, and hope to see him back at board meetings before too long. I would like to thank all directors for their input during the year – all have made important contributions to our deliberations, and we continue to work well together as a team. I would particularly like to thank the new Deputy Chairman, Brian Halstead, for his work on risk management and his general support during the year.

Chairman: Mr David Stanton

I am delighted to report that the Peer Support Program continues to grow in success and popularity. We were very pleased this year to have had the opportunity to paint and decorate our offices and install new signage, thanks to an infrastructure grant. The Infrastructure Grants Program (IGP) is funded by the NSW Health and administered by Mental Health Coordinating Council. I have no doubt that the more attractive, fresh offices have resulted in improved morale and increased productivity. Additional infrastructure funding was secured to assist in redevelopment of our website. This was supplemented by funding from the James N Kirby Foundation. We have had many complimentary remarks regarding how much easier it is to use, and the fact that schools can now order resources and register for workshops on line has been a great improvement on our old manual system. Further modifications to this site and other technological improvements are planned for the year

ahead courtesy of the Mental Health NGO Capacity Development Grant Project funded by the Australian

Government Department of Health and Ageing. Materials developed this year were Behaving with Integrity, a secondary school module focusing on values which was funded by Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Keeping Friends and Getting Started, primary school modules focusing on relationships and orientation, both of which were self funded. This was another excellent year for Royalty payments with income of over $100,000. This is a good indication that the comprehensive suite of modules that are now available to schools are being used extensively. The expansion into Tasmania and Queensland funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing has been very successful. We have run 12 one day workshops and these were attended by 163 teachers. A pilot of the Peer Support Program will take place in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region of Western Australia in the 2008/2009 financial year. The growing demand for the Peer Support Program has necessitated a change of staffing roles. Col Harrison will move from his role as Training and Development Consultant to a role as Business Development Consultant. I look forward to working with Col in this role and wish him every success. Our new Training and Development Consultant, Zoe Dawson has fitted in well and is proving to be a very capable member of staff. I would like to thank all our supporters for their assistance this year and of course a big thank you to all staff and the Board for their ongoing hard work and effort.

General Manager: Ms Sharon Austin



W H A T ’ S I N A N A M E ?

In January 2008, the Peer Support Foundation became Peer Support Australia. The change reflects the success of the Department of Health and Ageing Suicide Prevention Initiative to expand the program more broadly throughout Queensland and into Tasmania. It also pre-empts a new pilot program to introduce the program to schools in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The name change has been incorporated into all correspondence and into the design of the website. Promotional flyers have a fresh new look as do the faxes promoting workshop dates which are redeveloped and sent to schools each term. Whilst our name has changed, our commitment to providing a peer led approach to improving student relationships and enhancing student wellbeing has not. The universality of the Peer Support Program continues to grow with the positive reactions of teachers and schools in each new region. This year 3 workshops took place for the first time in Rockhampton and a significant number of the schools who were trained have purchased a current module to implement with their students. Challenges remain as Peer Support Australia moves into new markets. There has been an evolution of peer support to the extent that there are now a number of variations in existence throughout Australia. Most schools have a general idea of what peer support is about, though some of these ideas are quite different from the Peer Support Program. Many teachers have developed sessions of their own, whilst other schools use the same resources year after year. Part of the challenge for Peer Support Australia going forward is to ensure our program is sufficiently differentiated from other programs to be immediately recognisable and desirable. The gathering body of research supporting the efficacy of the Peer Support Program provides demonstrable evidence of the significant benefits of the program. Schools throughout NSW, the ACT, Queensland and Tasmania have identified the importance of the Peer Support Program in providing leadership opportunities for students, support for students of all ages in relationship-building and a smoother transition between Primary School and Secondary School. Peer Support Australia anticipates the change in name will be a forerunner to a more National approach to the distribution and implementation of the Peer Support Program. Despite the changes, the commitment to the spirit of the Peer Support Program remains. The continued success of the program is due to the supportive structure created in schools through small groups led by trained student Peer leaders. In Primary Schools, two senior students lead a group of 8-10 mixed aged students through 8 session modules focusing on either relationships, optimism, resilience, anti-bullying or values. All students are involved in the 30 minute sessions for the duration of the program and the process is repeated each year using a different group of Peer leaders and a different module. In Secondary Schools, two trained leaders from Years 10 or 11 lead a group of 8-10 younger students through the transition into their first year at high school. Each module is 8 sessions in length and focuses on either resilience, anti-bullying or values.

During 2007-2008, membership continued to show consistent growth. The number of member schools increased from 710 to 825, an increase of 16%. According to the criteria of operational schools, 727 schools are currently operational. This refers to schools: • which have sent a member of staff to an Implementation workshop within the past 5 years and • which have purchased a current module within that time. Over 600 of these are in NSW, with about 65% Primary and 35% Secondary. The number of operational schools is growing in Queensland and Tasmania and both states are on target to meet or exceed expectations. • 25 one day implementation workshops were run in NSW and were attended by 322 teachers, up 29% on the

previous year’s figures. • 12 one day implementation workshops were run in 6 separate locations in Queensland and Tasmania. 163

teachers attended these workshops. • 14 anti-bullying workshops were conducted in various locations throughout NSW and the ACT and were

attended by 79 teachers. Demand is still far higher for the flexible delivery training following these workshops than it is for whole school training by a consultant. 53 flexible delivery packages were purchased.

Training and Development Consultants were also conducting training within the schools and provided an additional • 29 teacher awareness raising sessions, • 20 student awareness raising sessions and • 10 parent awareness raising sessions. The National Safe Schools Framework has now been in place for the past 2 years. Most schools have developed or reviewed their anti-bullying procedures and have strategies in place. As a result there may be a reduced demand for anti-bullying training in the future. This may provide an opportunity to develop a new approach to the issue of bullying behaviours in schools. Three modules were developed during 2007-2008. • Secondary values module, Behaving with Integrity, • Primary Relationships module, Keeping Friends • Primary Orientation module, Getting Started Our Chairman, David Stanton, signed the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) Commitment to Young Australians on behalf of Peer Support Australia. Peer Support Australia presented at significant workshops held in Brisbane, Melbourne and Tasmania throughout the year and attended the Happiness Conference in May, 2008.

ocus on Keeping Friends

Keeping Friends was developed throughout 2007-2008 to supersede the previous relationships module; Building Connections. Feedback from teachers who had previously implemented Building Connections

identified the importance of focussing on friendships and fairness. As a result, Keeping Friends focuses on maintaining friendships and playing fairly. It also assists students to develop the skills required to say “no” if they do not want to do something a friend asks them to do. The activities in the module provide a number of opportunities for students to practice good friendship skills and inclusive social behaviour. Early feedback has been extremely positive.

The next 12 months will be focusing on growth. Col Harrison moves into a new role as Business Development Consultant to manage the expansion into the Northern Territory and Western Australia. This will necessitate the recruitment of another Training and Development Consultant resulting in an increase in the size of the organisation. This project is due for completion by May 2009. The new website will be further developed to allow member schools to access additional support, particularly in the form of electronic versions of awareness raising sessions for both staff and students. There will be a further refinement of the online ordering and registration processes to more efficiently integrate with the accounting system. This project is due for completion by June 2009. Administration and accounting procedures will be streamlined with the development of an integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database and new Accounting package. As this develops, Peer Support Australia will investigate electronic methods of program delivery. A production team has been engaged to develop and produce a promotional DVD to assist in the marketing and promotion of the Peer Support Program. In a number of areas, teachers do not have a clear picture of what the Peer Support Program looks like. The availability of a DVD, with short films directed at different audiences will assist in presenting a clear image of the program. This project is due for completion by March 2009. In response to a request from the Department of Health and Ageing under the Suicide Prevention Initiative, Peer Support Australia will run pilot workshops in Darwin and the Kimberley of WA during 2009. The focus of these workshops is to assess the viability of the Peer Support Program in the NT and WA, particularly in supporting indigenous students. Participating schools will be requested to participate in an evaluation of the program and will have some of their costs subsidised in recognition of this support. This project is due for completion by June 2009. A new Primary module focusing on optimism will be developed to supersede the existing Optimism module; Being Positive. Feedback has already been gathered from teachers who have previously implemented Being Positive. There was an identified need to retain the concepts of positive self talk and teacher-directed meditation. The conceptual framework will be developed in light of some of the research presented at the Happiness Conference in May. This project is due for completion by June 2009. Funding will be sought to support the development of this module. Evaluation of the success of expansion into Queensland and Tasmania will occur as the project concludes in May 2009. An evaluation tool developed by our researcher in consultation with Peer Support Australia will be trialled and used during 2009. This will be a key component of the evaluation report to Department of Health and Ageing following completion of the project. It is anticipated there will be significant interest from schools in the use of an evaluative tool.
