OUR PEER PROGRAMS
Peer Health Educators
Peer Health Educators (PHEs) create positive, fun, and non-judgemental programming with the goal of providing Queen's students with information and skills to make informed health and well-being decisions for themselves.
This year, PHEs have 7 topic teams. Each team has their own unique niche and works together on various projects. Some projects involve other campus partners, others involve creating informative videos and social media content.
Peer Wellness Coaches
The BeWell Blog is supported by student volunteers from the Student Wellness Services Peer Wellness Coaching Program. Through educational and encouraging content, the blog helps students explore health and wellness topics, connect with resources relevant to their needs, and feel empowered to make positive changes.
In addition to contributing to the blog, Peer Wellness Coaches meet one-on-one with students to provide personalized support as they work toward their health and wellness goals.
Queen's University students can book one-on-one peer and/or professional wellness coaching appointments. These 30-minute appointments help students set a personalized health behaviour goal, discuss how to overcome potential barriers and maintain motivation.

Campus Observation Room
The Campus Observation Room (COR) is our on-site non-medical detox service overseen by Student Wellness Services with the support of trained student volunteers and professional Addiction Support Workers.
It is a voluntary, confidential and a non-judgmental place where students who have had too much to drink can come to sleep.
