Peer Coaching
Peer Coaching aims to provide a safe place for students to speak freely and objectively, assess barriers to academic success, and access tools and support for sustaining greater work/life balance, mental and physical health, and other benefits. Amongst life skills, students will have support with finding life purpose, meaning, and identity. Our Peer Coaches help students create achievable goals, offering encouragement, accountability, evaluating progress, and celebrating wins.
