Abstract: | Indigenous volunteers may provide a supplementary source of help to their emotionally disturbed peers. Lowering the threshold of accessibility of professional staff for direct service to students and consultation with dormitory staff are also a part of this program. Initial findings show promise for decreasing the dropout rate of disturbed students. There is a consensus among volunteers and clients concerning the relative value of the therapeutic community as a resource for treatment and maturation. |
