Message from Mariam Aslam: "Hello everyone! My name is Mariam Aslam and I asked JC to send out this email to let you know about a program I am a part of. The Peer Counseling program trains students to become active listeners capable of helping their fellow students through personal and academic struggles. The program is a two-semester commitment; the first semester consists of hands-on training with a Counselor in QC's Counseling Center in preparation for the second semester, during which students see clients 1-on-1 and continue to hone their counseling skills. The Peer Counseling office is accepting applications for the Spring semester and will be accepting applications till March 16th. Please visit our QC page to learn more about the program, details about the open house on February 22nd and how to apply: https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/counseling/peer/Pages/Peer-Regi... I'd like to encourage anyone who has an interest in this incredible program that offers undergraduate experience on a graduate level to apply! Please reach out to us on our Instagram (@qcpeers) or Facebook (Peer Support Services at Queens College). I'd also like to encourage you all to take advantage of the Peer Counseling center as a resource; you can talk to us about ANYTHING, and we'll be there to listen and help you through it! It's been a tough few months for everyone, and it can be very important to talk things out. Our office is open Mondays 11AM- 5PM, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10AM - 5PM, and Thursdays 10AM - 3PM. We look forward to seeing you!
