What is Peer2Peer?

Peer2Peer is a student-led group that advocates for the mental well-being of the members within our community through peer support. We offer free one-to-one sessions to talk with a peer responder with the option of remaining anonymous. Our organization is open to any graduate and undergraduate students at UNC.
  

       What is Peer Support? 
Peer support is a linkage between people that can provide support, encouragement, and feelings of normalcy. Peers can share knowledge and support that can only be gained through lived experience.
​What are the benefits? 
  • Improves self-efficacy 
  • Builds confidence 
  • Reduces the use of emergency services 
  • Provide feelings of social relatedness and normalizes experiences
  • Conveys knowledge and information about resources 
  • Positive effects on hope, empowerment, and quality of life   ​
