We help address the mental health crisis on campus by training students to become certified peer supporters and connecting them with other students who need support. Our peer support network, peers.net, is now live!
Our free myala app helps students track the ups and downs of their mind. It connects them with crisis support from Crisis Text Line, and makes it easier to reach out to family and friends for support.
We’re already working with student groups, career centers, psychology departments and innovation groups at Northeastern University, University of St Thomas Houston, Western Governors University, Arizona State University, and the University of Oregon to bring this opportunity to their community. (Read this blog post on why WGU chose to partner with us.) We’re always looking for more college partners, especially community colleges and others with diverse student populations.
We would love to bring peers.net to your college campus. We have been setting up tabling and wellness events at a number of colleges in California, Oregon, and Washington and would love to do more! If you are a student or campus-affiliated group, interested in hosting an event with us, please contact us.
Offer the opportunity to your students to get trained as a peer supporter, and provide support to students who need it on your campus.
We partner with student groups to spread the word about our training and jobs.
We partner with Careers Offices to offer a meaningful and attractive part-time student job that provides students with training and leadership opportunities that will be useful in whichever career they choose. We would love to connect with you on Handshake.
We partner with psychology faculties to provide paid work experience to students.
If you are faculty or staff, please get in touch to explore how we could work with your college.
