The Peer Support Programme runs\u00a0two additional groups; one called Rainbow Peers for students who identify as LGBTQ+ and Peers of\u00a0Colour for students who identify as BAME. Around 500 students are part of the Peer Support family.<br \/>\nPeer Support is about training and supervising Oxford students in mental health, active listening and\u00a0creating a resilient wellbeing community that is non-hierarchical and based on a relationship that is\u00a0peer to peer. Evidence has shown that students are more likely to approach a peer for support than\u00a0a more senior individual or those further up in a hierarchy in the first instance. Oxford is an<br \/>\ninherently hierarchical and fragmented institution which can make seeking welfare support\u00a0challenging. This project aims to create a centralised virtual space to find trained Peer Supporters via\u00a0tagged and filterable biography searches and for trained Peer Supporters to converse and seek peer\u00a0to peer support with one another in specialised monitored forums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based\u00a0at the Student Welfare &amp; Support Services. 2019\u00a0staff round For more information, please\u00a0contact\u00a0innovation@it.ox.ac.uk\u00a0.
