Mission of Peer Listener Program:
The Mission of the Padrón Campus Peer Listener program (through the Psych Force Club) is to promote well-being to our students and to bring awareness of mental health issues and positive psychology through our peer-to-peer activities. Our peer listeners are equipped with a variety of skills, including; active listening, stress management, problem solving and crisis management. They will also refer and provide resources as needed.
What is a Peer Listener?
Peer Listeners are students trained to offer emotional support and positive psychology to students on campus. They receive specialized training and are supervised weekly while they are actively working as a Peer Listener. Besides peer-to-peer listening, they also offer awareness campaigns, resources to programs on campus and in the community, and referrals to treatment for those students in more serious need for help. Peer Listeners do not offer advice, therapy, nor opinions. Their main role is to empathically listen and offer support. Peer listeners help in building community on campus as it allows for social interaction, more inclusive activities, and opportunities for sharing.
