Mission

The Student Counseling Services Peer Support Program aims to foster a supportive community where students can connect with trained Peer Mentors. Our mission is to create a safe space for students to discuss their concerns, no matter how minor, and to promote mental well-being through empathetic listening and shared experiences. Through the Peer Support Program, students can feel empowered to navigate challenges, build resilience, and enhance their university experience.

How It Works

  • Connect with a Peer: Students who are screened by Student Counseling Services staff and determined to have minor concerns will be matched with a Peer Mentor.
  • One-on-One Support: Engage in confidential, supportive conversations to work through challenges
  • Regular Check-ins: Peer Mentors are available for consistent check-ins, ensuring you have the resources and guidance you need throughout the semester

How Will Working With a Peer Mentor Help Me?

  • Build a network of supportive, like-minded individuals
  • Gain insights from peers who understand the college experience
  • Strengthen your emotional well-being and sense of community
