Health & Wellness peer support service

The Peer Support Service will be closed starting December 14, 2024 and will reopen on January 7, 2025. Please refer to the Health & Wellness Winter Break Closure Notice if you need support during the break.

Need someone to hear you out? Support you? Connect you to useful resources?

Health & Wellness peer support is here to help. Chat with a trained University of Toronto student peer about whatever is on your mind, right away! Support is offered in a one-on-one, drop-in, non-judgmental, confidential and accessible space online or in-person from Tuesday to Friday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Check out our schedule or download it to your Outlook calendar.

If you are a student in need of immediate support, there are other resources available 24/7.

Please bring your TCard when accessing our in-person locations. Upon arrival, you will be asked to wear a mask and to complete a short, confidential COVID-19 screening form. Please also bring a smart device to your in-person appointment to scan a QR code and complete the online COVID-19 screening.

Just like when you access the virtual service, you will also be asked to complete a confidentiality agreement. Please bring a smart device (e.g., phone, tablet or laptop) with you to complete the confidentiality agreement.

Drop in to the Health & Wellness peer support service on Zoom.

Open Wednesday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Depending on how busy the service is, you may have to wait in a waiting room before being connected with a peer supporter.

While you are in the waiting room, a peer supporter will message you with further instructions and an estimated wait time. When you are in a session please turn your microphone and camera on. If you have any issues with this, please let the peer supporter know.
