Abstract

Northeastern University, as well as other colleges of similar scale, can dramatically increase their mental health services by investing in peer to peer support programs. Peer to peer support programs expand the current mental health services on college campuses by training students to be aware of the mental illnesses their peers face and provide meaningful support and resources to them. This proposal outlines the multiple benefits of a peer support program for individual students as well the larger school community.
