Peer Health also offers a free, confidential Call-In/Walk-In (CIWI) service every Sunday-Thursday 7-10PM in our office, Paresky 212. Our peer counselors are trained in topics such as eating disorders, drugs and alcohol, sexual assault, women's and men's health, sex and sexuality, pregnancy options, sexually transmitted diseases, and stress. Counselors are also trained in active listening, and are there for you to vent to even if it's not a serious issue. It's also a great way to figure out what resources are available if you're struggling in a class, or not fitting in with your entry, or worried your friend may have an eating disorder. We offer CIWI training in the fall semester and during Winter Study.
