After Hours Peer Support Centre

Creating a safe space for student support.

The After Hours Peer Support Centre is a newly established, peer-led initiative at our campus, dedicated to creating a supportive environment where every voice is heard and every student is supported. Our goal is to ensure that all students have access to compassionate, non-judgmental support at a time where resources and services can be scarce. Upheld by trained peers who understand the unique challenges of student life, the After Hours Peer Support Centre offers a safe space for students to share their experiences and explore possibilities during moments of crisis and distress.
