PEER Program sign-ups are now open for the Spring 2023 semester! The PEER (Promoting Education & Emotional Resilience) Program seeks to empower students to learn about their mental health, develop positive coping skills, and work through navigating challenging barriers. 

*Registration closes Friday, January 13th - Student do NOT have to be registered with RCPD to participate*

This 6-week workshop will help students develop resiliency skills utilizing techniques derived from evidenced-based practices such at mindfulness, ACT, executive function building, CBT, emotion regulation with DBT, and resiliency training in collaboration with the RCPD and Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS). PEER participants will also have a dedicated practical application support group for deeper discussion and community building.

*There will be separate application groups for graduate and undergraduate students.

For the Spring 2023 semester, the program will run January 17 through February 22. Participants are expected to commit to both workshops and support groups for the 6-week duration of the program (a two-hour, weekly commitment). Weekly meetings will be held over Zoom: 

• Psychoeducation Workshops: Tuesdays from 3 - 4 p.m.  
• Support Groups: Wednesdays from 3 - 4 p.m.  

Interested students can sign up here.
