WeSupport — Wesleyan Student Support Network
WeSupport is a 6-session workshop offered by Counseling and Psychological Services and Active Minds. In a series of six 1-hour discussions, we will train students to be peer mental health advocates. Participating students will learn about a variety of mental health topics, become familiar with the signs a friend or acquaintance may be in distress, gain practice talking with someone who is struggling, and become conversant in both campus and community resources. Students who complete the six-session series will have the option of joining a network of Wesleyan peer mental health advocates.
WeSupport seminars will be held Tuesdays from 4:30 – 5:30 PM in 41 Wyllys room 114 and Fridays from 12:15 – 1:15 in 41 Wyllys room 113. Start date is September 25th for the Tuesday group, and September 28th for the Friday group. The series will not meet during the week of fall break.
