What is Peer Listening?
Betsy's Friends Peer Education program is considering starting a Peer Listening program. Peer Listening is a free service offered for students by students. Through one-on-one conversations, the Peer Listeners would be trained to create an inclusive support system within a safe place, free of judgment, provide resources on a variety of topics such as boundary-setting, drug and alcohol use, and self-care, and co-create an individualized self-care plan for participating students.
Peer Listening would be a great option for students looking to actively strengthen their personal well-being and self-care strategies, identify campus resources, solve problems effectively, and work toward intentional change. Peer Listening is NOT for students experiencing a mental health crisis and is NOT a replacement for counseling and/or medical services. Peer Listeners will address and discuss difficult topics while providing students with mutual respect, privacy, and a plan of action.
We would like to hear from Mines students on if this service would be a benefit and utilized by the campus. We would like to learn what you want this service to look like! Submissions are anonymous as we would like honest feedback.
