Young adults' wellbeing is one of the important challenges facing society. Tertiary students tend to first turn to their peers for support when they experience psychological distress, and the less formal nature of peer support may remove barriers to help-seeking, encouraging students to ask for help earlier.
Produced by Curtin University, Australia, alongside Lund University, Murdoch University and Curtin University, Dubai, and part of the Advance HE Collaborative Development Fund 2024-25, this project aimed to support and evaluate student wellbeing within global university campuses through "Comfort Corner", a student peer mentor wellbeing program.
Aligning with the students as partners framework, the program aims to foster a sense of belonging, connectedness and community, part of United Nations sustainable development goals around wellbeing.
Advance HE members can listen to a podcast on the project and download the toolkit below.
