Peer Wellness Advocates

Peer Wellness Advocates (PWA) offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss anything on your mind, with complete confidentiality. While not licensed professionals, these trained students provide compassionate support, equipped with essential counseling skills, suicide prevention techniques, and knowledge of campus resources. PWAs are also mandated reporters in cases involving child, elderly, or dependent adult abuse, immediate threats of harm to yourself or others, and instances of sexual misconduct, harassment, stalking, or dating violence. For more information on the 2024-2025 Peer Wellness Advocates and how to connect with them, please visit the Peer Wellness Advocates page.

The 2025-26 application for Peer Wellness Advocates will be available soon. Applications open during the Spring semester. Complete the Get Involved interest form to receive notification when applications open.

Group Counseling/Trainings

Group Counseling is a confidential service provided to all eligible students. Therapy groups are often limited to a maximum of 12 people.

Once therapy has begun, the group is closed. Closed groups with a small number of participants allow for trust building and group cohesion, thus allowing groups to be therapeutic.
