Abstract
This qualitative study focuses on a peer support system created and facilitated by a high school student using FacebookTM as a major component. A review of literature discusses Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Data include four one-on-one interviews with the creator of the support system discussing her experiences throughout its facilitation, anonymous notes from students and FacebookTM posts. The study focuses on the process of developing a peer support group using FacebookTM and notes in a locker as anonymous mediums for peer support and SEL development. This study identifies the benefits and details of the creation of this peer-facilitated and governed support system for students.
