We all struggle with the daily challenges of life. For some, receiving peer support can be a useful tool for coping with the stressors associated with being a college student. The Mental Health and Wellness Peer Educators are undergraduate and graduate students trained by CAPS staff to help provide support, resources and education to their fellow University of Michigan Dearborn peers.
