Health & Wellness Peer Support Drop-in
Being a student can be hard. But peer support — being able to speak with someone who “gets it” — is just a click away.
If you ever want a fellow student to talk to who can offer support and connect you with useful resources, the Health & Wellness Peer Support Drop-in is here to help. Chat with a trained Algonquin College student peer about mental health, sexual health and sexual violence, and substance use. Support is offered in a one-on-one, drop-in, non-judgmental, confidential, and accessible virtual space.
Students can access this support Monday-Friday, 12pm-5pm.
