Peer support refers to people within a community providing knowledge, experience and emotional, social or practical help to each other.
TalkCampus is based around peer support, where student users support each other based on shared experiences of dealing with the challenges they face at university, including managing study, work and life demands.
Relationships of respect and understanding can have a positive impact on student mental health and sense of belonging. Participating in peer-to-peer support has been linked to an increased ability to cope, a greater sense of wellbeing and resilience, and higher self-esteem and confidence levels.
