Peer Counseling

There is a peer counseling group at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. It is staffed primarily by undergraduate students at the University who have received training in how to be active listeners, handle crises, and make referrals. Their services are designed to be used once or twice to talk through something bothering you. For ongoing counseling, or more serious problems, contact the Rutgers College Counseling Center or one of the other psychological services at Rutgers. The peer counseling group is:
