Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary goal of PeerMindful?
This project aims to bridge the gap in mental health support for university students by creating a peer-based appointment system. It allows students to connect with trained wellbeing representatives for informal mental health discussions, reducing the waiting time for formal services and fostering a supportive community.
Who can benefit from this program?
All university students are welcome to use the service, especially those experiencing stress, loneliness, homesickness, and academic pressure. The initiative focuses on inclusivity and accessibility for students from diverse backgrounds.
How are representatives trained to provide support?
Wellbeing representatives undergo mental health first aid training and receive additional preparation to handle peer support scenarios. They are equipped to listen actively, provide coping strategies, and guide students to professional counselors when needed.
What measures are in place to ensure confidentiality during sessions?
Strict confidentiality protocols are enforced to ensure student privacy. Representatives are trained to handle sensitive information appropriately, and no personal details will be shared without explicit consent.
Is there a cost for participating in peer-support sessions?
No, sessions are free of charge. Snacks and beverages provided during the sessions are also complimentary to create a welcoming environment.
What happens if a student requires support beyond the scope of peer assistance?
If a student presents with needs that exceed the capabilities of peer support, representatives will recommend scheduling an appointment with certified counselors or direct them to appropriate professional mental health resources.
Will students have the option for follow-up sessions?
Yes, students can schedule follow-ups based on their needs and representative availability. Resource materials may also be provided for additional support between sessions.
How will cultural sensitivities be addressed during sessions?
Representatives receive training in cultural sensitivity to ensure inclusivity. The team includes individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, and informational materials may be available in multiple languages.
How will the program ensure representatives maintain boundaries?
Representatives will be trained in setting and maintaining boundaries to ensure that sessions remain supportive and within the scope of peer assistance, avoiding over-involvement.
