Details

Mental Health Technologies is seeking to understand the demand for student peer support services and programs within US and Canadian universities and colleges. The goal of this project is to gather insights into the current landscape of peer support services, identify gaps, and assess the interest and need for such programs among students. This research will help Mental Health Technologies tailor their offerings to better support student mental health on campuses. The project involves collecting data through surveys and interviews of students and faculty members. The team will synthesize this information to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and potential opportunities for growth in this area.

Deliverables

The project will culminate in a detailed report that includes:



- A summary of findings from surveys and interviews with students and university staff.


- An analysis of existing peer support programs and their effectiveness.


- Recommendations for Mental Health Technologies on potential service offerings.


- A presentation of key insights and strategic opportunities for expanding peer support services in higher education institutions.
