Penn State Altoona's Health and Wellness Center and the college's human development and family studies degree program offer a peer advocacy program for students. Trained students will serve as peer advocates, providing a supportive listening environment with drop-in hours.
Students can attend to discuss concerns about stress, relationships, the future, courses, feelings of being overwhelmed, or to talk. For more information, contact Heidi Manfred at [email protected].
