Well-being Buddies

Details Hide[-]

Wellbeing buddy is a peer-peer support scheme, whereby volunteers support other students facing difficulties and are paired with students with similar interests.

Volunteers are not required to provide mental health support or advice to students and are there to engage in conversation on topics that interest them.

Where possible, students will be paired with volunteers who have similar interests. It is entirely up to buddy pairings when and where they would like to meet and chat- they could meet remotely over Teams or Zoom, in a local cafe, on campus or on a walk outside.
