Peer2Peer is a welfare scheme in Cambridge University that trains students in order for them to support their peers in a meaningful and responsible way. Peer2Peer supporters do not give advice or seek out problems, rather they respond to requests for help and empower the person they are supporting to come to their own decisions. The training teaches the supporter the communication skills required to do this, amongst other things.
If accepted onto the Peer2Peer program you will not only receive two days of training, but there will be ongoing small group training sessions, University wide talks and the chance to meet lots of new people. You will learn many important and transferable skills and you will be able to use these to help other students.
For more information, and to apply, visit our website ( http://ptp.soc.srcf.net/ - Or search for "Cambridge Peer2Peer") - The application deadline is the 3rd February. We shall interview all candidates before deciding whether the application is successful or not.
We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
The Peer2Peer committee
