Peer Counseling Programs

Peer counseling programs involve trained individuals, often of similar age or experience, providing emotional support and guidance to their peers. These programs aim to create a safe space where students or community members can discuss issues like stress, mental health, or personal challenges openly. Because peers share common experiences, they can often relate more easily, fostering trust and understanding. Peer counselors are trained to listen, offer support, and refer individuals to professional resources when needed. Overall, these programs promote well-being, resilience, and a supportive community environment.
