For Schools
Strengthening Early Identification & Supervised Peer Leadership in Secondary Schools
The Live Free Adolescent Recovery School Based Peer Recovery Model™ is a structured, NH DOE–aligned professional development program designed to strengthen school-based student support systems through clearly defined peer leadership frameworks and referral pathways.
This is not therapy.
This is not treatment.
It is a supervised, policy-aligned model that reinforces early identification, clear boundaries, and appropriate escalation within existing school systems.
Why Schools Implement This Model
What the Model Provides
Secondary schools are navigating increasing behavioral health concerns, staffing pressures, and chronic absenteeism challenges. Strengthening internal identification and referral systems allows schools to respond earlier and more consistently — without expanding clinical infrastructure.
This model supports:
• Clear student-to-adult referral pathways
• Defined supervision standards
• Strengthened Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports
• Reinforced professional boundaries
• Reduced reactive burden on counseling and administrative staff
The Live Free School Based Peer Recovery Model™ includes:
• A 6-hour NH DOE–aligned professional development training
• Structured peer leadership framework
• Defined referral and escalation protocols
• Documentation standards aligned with district policy
• Implementation guidance for safe rollout
• Ongoing support options
The training is designed to complement existing student services — not replace them.
