The Peer Support Program is CUE’s initiative to foster and strengthen the community of support among students. The program provides students with a confidential and safe space to talk about their problems with another peer and offers referrals to campus and community services.
“We are students helping students. We are a free, confidential service. We are here to listen and not to judge. We provide referrals to both on and off campus resources. We are a drop-in service. We are not counsellors and we don’t give advice but we provide you with support and help you figure out what you need. We can talk about any small or large areas of concern.”
Peer Support is on break until Fall 2024.

Looking for more support? The goal of Canada's Student Mental Health Network (the Network) is to provide post-secondary students across the country with a one-stop, online location for reliable and valid mental health education, tools, and resources designed to empower students to promote and maintain their mental health and well-being.
