Peer Counseling

How does it work?

Student sends a peer counseling request by emailing studenthealthcouncil@brown.edu or through this form (Link Here). This email address is monitored by our 4th year chair. Your anonymity is respected throughout the entire process! The 4th year chair will pair you with a SHC member and connect you both via email.  You and your peer counselor can plan an initial meeting (either face-to-face, or over the phone/text).
