Did you know that Saint Mary’s offers a Peer Support Program for students?
Hired and trained annually by the Counselling Centre, Peer Supporters are upper-year Saint Mary’s students who offer mental health support to fellow students. They have lived experience with mental health and understand the challenges of being a student. The Peer Support Program is confidential and open to all students.
All students are welcome to drop by during their office hours, no appointment needed! You can stop in to talk about university adjustment, managing stress, relationship issues, mental health, coping strategies, and more.
