Peer Support is a free, confidential service for UBC students looking for someone to talk to. If you’re feeling stressed about school, struggling with mental health, feeling lonely, or facing personal challenges like relationship issues or identity questions, we’re here to listen. No problem is too big or too small. Our friendly Peer Supporters are students just like you, trained to help with things like academic stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, substance use, and more.
Beyond individual support, we also focus on educating and helping the wider UBC community. We run harm reduction programs, like Naloxone training and fentanyl test strip distribution, and offer workshops on mental health and substance use to raise awareness and provide practical tools.
Whether you’re looking for someone to talk to or want to learn more about how to support your own well-being, booking a session is a great first step.
