The Schulich Peer Support Program (SPSP) is a student-led, Learner Experience Office -supported initiative that pairs trained Schulich Undergraduate Medicine and Dentistry students with their peers for informal peer support.
SPSP Supporters consist of a group of 24 undergraduate Medicine and Dentistry students from second third and fourth year classes.
Supporters represent a wide variety of lived experience, including racial diversity, mental and physical health, academic challenges, grief, sexual orientation, among many others. And they have received comprehensive training by Learner Experience staff, including but not limited to: communication techniques, crisis/suicide management, harassment/mistreatment, and cultural humility.
Supporters are also familiar with university/community resources, and can facilitate referral to other support services and/or LEO professionals as required.
SPSP will always prioritize privacy and confidentiality, and all participants will be required to complete a confidentiality agreement.
If you have any questions about SPSP please contact Dr. Robert Stein, Associate Dean, Learner Experience or SPSP Leads.
