Osgoode Peer Support Centre

The OPSC is a student volunteer-driven service for Osgoode students seeking a supportive individual Office hours will commence in the fall!

The Osgoode Peer Support Centre (OPSC) is an entirely student volunteer-driven service for Osgoode Hall Law School students seeking a supportive individual to speak with about personal matters. Under the Peer Support Network, students will be matched with Peer Supporters who will provide them with support, encouragement, and resources to help them cope with the stresses of law school and personal life. Peer Supporters are Osgoode students whose role is to actively listen and provide support to students who want someone with whom to talk. Peer Supporters and students are matched by an OPSC co-chair, who is bound by confidentiality. Come to room 0014A to gain more information on the Centre and access our resources. Hours of operation will be posted to this page.

Hey Peers! We have an amazing free resource to share with you guys esp for those who are interested in seeking mental help and wellbeing. 🫶

About the groups:
These groups were started by someone who has lived-experience with a mental wellness challenge, and have been in operation since 2015.

The groups are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL.

Format:
The format is one hour long. Each person may (but doesn’t have to) share how their mental wellness is affecting them. They can then get “feedback” from another member (which is empathy or a technique which has worked for that other member…none of us will tell someone what they “should” do…as none of us is a professional).

Benefits:
The groups have been very popular as they offer three significant benefits:

1. Members learn that they are not alone, and that there are others like them suffering;

2. Members can unburden themselves to a sympathetic ear…rather than continue to over-burden their spouse or parents who don’t have the lived-history to help;

3. Members can get real-world suggestions of techniques which others have used successfully.

Here are some important links:
