KAAGAPAY: Support Groups
The support groups aim to provide a safe and nurturing space where students can connect with peers who share similar experiences and access tailored interventions and resources that promote mental health and holistic well-being. The following are the current established groups:
Peer Facilitation Program
The UC Peer Facilitators Organization is a transformative and accredited group that serves as an extension of the Guidance Services and Wellness Center. Peer facilitators are trained, skilled, and supervised students who assist in implementing guidance services. They also conduct psycho-educational activities for fellow students and refer those needing professional mental health support to the office.
The UC Peer Facilitators Organization utilizes Facebook application and the University’s Canvas Learning Management System in conducting and facilitating
activities.
