Health & Wellness peer support

Peer support is open to all undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Toronto, St. George Campus who are physically located in Ontario. You don’t have to be on campus to access the service, but you must be in the province.

For the full peer support experience, we ask that you have access to a functional microphone and webcam. If you have any accessibility concerns, please email us at peersupport@utoronto.ca or chat with one of our peer supporters in a session.

We are open for one-on-one, confidential, drop-in support sessions on:

• Wednesdays from 12 – 5 p.m.
• Thursdays from 12 – 5 p.m.
• Fridays from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Under Booking & Documentation, you’ll find a link that is active during the hours specified above. Click the link to join.

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 moderator 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.

Please feel free to join with an alias while in the waiting room. We ask that you disclose your full name to the peer supporter when in session and in the confidentiality agreement.

You will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement that asks for your full name, contact information and an emergency contact. You must complete this agreement before being placed in a session with a peer supporter.
