A group of committed sixth-form students, we aim to be your go-to source of support and comfort. Having undergone rigorous specialist training, we hope to help all secondary students via online chat.
“To empower you to take control of your wellbeing and provide a friendly, safe and comfortable space created for students, by students.”
The chat room is hosted by Rocket Chat
A session lasts for 40 minutes.
The session is anonymous - this means that your identity and the peer counsellor's identity will not be revealed.
In the chat room you will also see a user named 'Oversight'. This user will only log on if a safety issue is flagged up (see our Confidentiality agreement)
What happens in the chat room stays in the chat room. No teachers, parents or students will know about your conversation unless:
1. The peer counsellor feels that you are at risk of harming yourself
2. The peer counsellor feels that you are at risk of being harmed by someone else
3. The peer counsellor feels that someone you know may be at risk of harm
4. The peer counsellor feels that you are disrespecting the service by misusing it
If we need to tell a Child Protection Officer what you've told us, we will always try to let you know straight away. However, if we're unsure whether your issue is CP or not, we'll seek advice from a school counsellor first - so it might be them you hear from instead.
