Peer Support Program
Peer Support, one of RRC Polytech’s wellness programs for students, is a confidential, volunteer-based, non-clinical support program that leverages the wisdom gained from lived experience. Social and emotional support from a fellow student can inspire hope and empower others who are in similar situations. It may be complementary to but is not a replacement for professional medical and clinical care.
The Peer Support program is available to all RRC Polytech students regardless of their campus location. Peer Supporters are RRC Polytech students who have struggled, either personally or through a family member, with a mental health challenge or difficult life event and who are now in a positive state of well-being and have completed an 18-hour training program.
