The Credible Peer Leaders Project (CPL) 8-session program discusses sexual assault and issues facing adolescents that contribute to sexual violence. Our goal is to inform adolescents about sexual violence, give them information to help prevent victimization and to prepare them to be an advocate to peers that may disclose to them about the violent experiences that they have lived. Students who complete the eight sessions will be certified by us to provide short trainings to peers on sexual assault.
