About Us
Mandate
The Peer Help Centre operates as a peer support service and resource centre. The Centre’s mandate is to provide the student community with academic, personal, and social support through resource distribution and short-term peer consultation. The Peer Help Centre services include: tutoring services, Active Listening sessions that occur in person or via the Peer Support Phone Line and Support Chat, the Mentoring for Youth Program, Peer Editing, and Presentation Critiques. The Centre’s primary goal has always been to offer students at the University of Ottawa a judgment-free, confidential, and empathetic environment.
