The Highschool Student Peer Support Hub (HSPS) was founded in Fall 2021 by two graduate students who hopes to provide more accessible support services to high school students (Gr. 9-12). We deeply understand that high school students are going through many transitions in life at this stage of their education and are at an age where there is an increasing numbers of responsibilities.

 

We ourselves have benefitted from peer support services in University and thinking back, really wished that the service was available to us in high school, when it can be very difficult to speak to a guidance counselor. That being said, we are taking action to make sure that current high school students have access to a service that will provide a comfortable, confidential space for any emotions to be expressed. 

​

Our mission is to lessen the burden students may be feeling and help students understand that their emotions feelings, good or bad, are valid.
