The Baines Peer Support Space(s), driven by the Wellness Peers, is a drop-in service focused on peer-to-peer support for students who want to talk, need a place to take a break and/or want help navigating resources. By fostering a spirit of openness and understanding through peer-based support, the goal of the service is to provide students accessible information to better their whole health. Peer support is emotional and practical support between people who share a common experience ie. Being a student who experiences academic/personal stress. Wellness Peers promote mental health and wellbeing, resilience building, and increasing self-care and self-management strategies. Most of all they promote a whole person approach to wellness and offer hope, empowerment, and connection.
The Baines Peer Support Space is located in St. James, Room 157 with a satellite space for Residence students in Clare Hall, Room 261 (formerly, the second floor south study room). If you are not a student who lives in residence but would like to access this space, please visit the Clare Hall front desk and ask for a swipe card.
