What We Offer

The Healthy Hornet Center provides a designated space where students are invited to connect with one another and work towards their wellness goals. Students can also receive one-on-one mentoring from trained peers that can relate and empathize with many of the common stressors students face.

Peer-to-peer support from a healthy hornet mentor may include:

  • Listening to student concerns with empathy and without judgment
  • Helping set wellness goals
  • Connecting with resources
  • Offering a variety of stress reducing activities
  • Encouraging personal growth and wellness habits

Please note that our peer mentors are not trained professionals and will connect students to resources for issues needing further support.
