Unlock the Advantage of Peer Support Networks

Part of your student experience is getting to know your peers. It’s a unique bond that you will form sharing your journey as well as reflecting upon experiences or situations you have been in.

• Increased mental health support

• Higher achievement within the classroom and in assessments 

• Increased self-esteem and positive behaviour 

• Enhanced self-advocacy skills 

• Increased attendance within lectures and placements 

• Development of positive and diverse relationships amongst peers
