Someone like you - the YPEER network
Under the YPEER scheme in Armenia, hundreds of young people across the country have been trained to help others of a similar age and background get the facts, understanding, attitudes and skills they need to be responsible for and to protect their health and well being.
One of the advantages of the YPEER scheme is that it’s flexible: you can chat one-to-one -- or in a larger group. And you can meet in almost any location: a university, a club, a café -- even in the street.
