Outreach to Campus GroupsOur peers actively reach out to student communities on campus to understand and identify the unique priorities and issues that are most challenging for each group. They also work collaboratively with student groups to determine how we can best deliver programs to help them meet the challenges they have identified and further build on the strengths and resiliency of the group. Peers have facilitated discussions, offered informative presentations, and helped groups learn skills to better manage their stress, cope with difficult relationships, thrive at school, and relax. |
