Peer Education

Our peer educators are students who are trained to provide accurate, accessible and helpful information around critical issues that affect students and the campus community. They facilitate workshops, host events and share information through engaging outreach.

Peer Well-Being Coaching

Well-being coaching offers students free one-on-one guided conversations with a trained peer well-being coach. In this supportive space, the student is in the driver's seat and receives guidance to reflect on their own well-being, set realistic goals, identify potential challenges and strategies to overcome those challenges and build confidence to make change.
