Peer Counseling │ Student Health, Counseling, and Wellness Services
The Serna Center partners with Student Health, Counseling, and Wellness Services to support students’ mental health and well-being. Peer Counseling is an open, non-judgmental space where students can confidentially speak to a peer about anything and everything. Peer Counselors are not licensed professionals but rather students who are trained to be supportive, helpful listeners and problem solvers. Peer Counselors are available at the Serna Center each week to conveniently provide their services. Please see the schedule below for weekly drop-in availability, or visit the booking page to make an appointment.
Weekly drop-in schedule: To be Announced
