Peer Support Centre
The Peer Support Centre (PSC) is a Students' Union service that offers a free, confidential, and non-judgemental place to talk to someone for support. No issue is too big or too small. Our trained volunteers offer peer support, crisis management, information and resources, as well as a safe and confidential place to talk. Our volunteers will listen to help you uncover some steps you can use to improve your situation, no matter what the issue. We also have a library of on and off campus resources to give you an idea of where to go when you leave the Centre.
We offer non-judgmental support in a safe, and confidential space to students and the University of Alberta community.
We recognize that our clients are the experts of their situation. We aim to empower our clients and refrain from offering advice. We strive to provide our service in a professional, and inclusive manner, and to do no harm.
We are committed to collaborating with other campus services to increase campus community, reduce the stigma of mental health struggles, and increase campus discussion of a variety of mental health issues.
We are also committed to providing volunteers with opportunities with personal and professional growth.
We aim to provide support for students, by students.
