Peer Mentor

An understanding of the student experience

Having another student to talk to can make a big difference in how confident you feel taking on life, school, and work.

Our Peer Mentors have lived the student experience and are here to listen and offer a calm, understanding space for connection and clarity. 1-on-1 and group opportunities are available every term.

If you need immediate support, please visit our Urgent Resources page.
