In this first-of-its-kind survey of college students on peer counseling, Born This Way Foundation and the Mary Christie Institute examine the perceptions and experiences of college students as they pertain to peer mental health support. The survey of over 2,000 American college students reveals widespread interest in peer mental health counseling, with one in five saying they have used these programs while more than 60% of those who have not, are interested in doing so. Inside Higher Ed provided coverage of the survey findings along with context from national experts on how these services can be a safe and effective option for some students.
The report is also covered here in the winter issue of the Mary Christie Quarterly.
