Leadership and Peer Counseling Program: Evaluation of Training and Its Impact on Filipino Senior Peer Counselors.

Senior volunteers represented a significant, mostly untapped lay resource of informal social care. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the training program on improving senior volunteers' competency toward peer counseling, and explored its impact on their well-being after three months of the program implementation. We conducted a pre- and post-intervention analysis among 60 senior volunteers aged 60-82 years.
