What is P.E.E.R.S.? People Empowering Each Other to Realize Success

PEERS focus on the Eight Dimensions of Wellness to support a healthier community. How we care for our children, our elders, our families, and ourselves. PEERS Wellness Ambassadors help promote wellness and student success in our campus community. Wellness Ambassadors work with Student Health Services to optimize wellness skills to support the achievement of academic and personal goals.

What do Wellness Ambassadors do?

Join the Cabrillo College chapter of the national nonprofit Active Minds Club. As a club we empower our members to change the conversation about mental health and suicide prevention by raising awareness, sharing resources, and inspiring action.

The importance of awareness and education about the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders and encouraging students who are struggling to reach out and seek help are extremely valuable, now more than ever. We've all been in a situation where we or someone close to us has shown signs of distress, did you know what to do? This club will help you find the words and learn the resources to help.

Learn about the ways you can be a part of changing the conversations around Mental Health in our school, community and beyond with a supportive group of your peers.
