A peer-to-peer program can be a valuable complement to existing campus mental health services, potentially increasing an institution\u2019s capacity for mental health care. Therapy can be scary for some students, but peer counseling provides an option to confide in classmates, roommates, and friends who they may be more comfortable talking to about issues like relationships, loneliness, managing stress, and academic concerns.<\/p><p>A peer counseling program can remove a barrier to support for students who may not feel comfortable visiting their campus counseling center. Of the students who used peer counseling services, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2022\/01\/24\/can-peer-counseling-ease-campus-mental-health-crisis\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">nearly 60% called it helpful.<\/a> And, eighty-two percent of students who have peer counseling at their institutions understand that it\u2019s able to serve students of various backgrounds and identities.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"using-peer-to-peer-support-as-an-on-ramp-to-mental-health-support\"><\/span>Using peer-to-peer support as an on-ramp to mental health support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Peer relationships on college campuses transcend barriers that typically keep students from beneficial support services. Peer-to-peer support programs operate with lower costs than models solely reliant on professional mental health staff, while offering one-to-one support to increase student success, health, and well-being. They also help to destigmatize the perceived complexity of mental health services, making care easier for students to access anytime, anywhere.<\/p><p>Peer-to-peer models expand the network of student support simply because of the number of peers available to help one another, in addition to full-time mental health staff. The value of a human relationship, whether with a peer or a licensed therapist or counselor, can make a significant positive impact on a student. However, student affairs professionals should recognize that while leveraging the benefits of peer support systems can alleviate the challenges students face getting the emotional and mental health care they need, that doesn&#8217;t mean these programs can undertake complex mental health challenges.<\/p><p>Rather than replacing staff roles with student workers, higher education leaders must constantly assess where peers have a distinct advantage as either messengers for key information, educators about resources, or providers of direct support. Where that advantage is absent and whenever students face particularly difficult challenges, peer support should remain supplemental to professional mental health care.<\/p><p>The qualitative study by Born This Way Foundation and the Mary Christie Institute found that <a href=\"https:\/\/bornthisway.foundation\/research\/peer-counseling-in-college\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">80% of peer counselors<\/a> say they received, at minimum, a fair amount of training. Nearly half said they received a great deal of training. Fifty-four percent received training through their campus counseling center, while 29% said they received peer counseling training through an outside program. A smaller percentage (16%) underwent a mix of on-campus and off-campus training. These wide-ranging stats demonstrate the importance of developing clear policies and procedures around training so peer counselors are well-equipped to understand their support role, know how to respond to students who are in distress, and know when a student may need to be referred to a professional.<\/p><p>One example of an effective student learning program is offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/jedfoundation.org\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">The Jed Foundation (JED)<\/a> \u2013 a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation\u2019s teens and young adults \u2013 giving them the skills and support they need to thrive.
