NON-EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

Drexel Peer Counseling Hotline
Monday - Friday, 8:00 pm - Midnight
(215) 895-1523

• The Peer Counseling Helpline is a confidential, anonymous, and free peer support line established by and for Drexel Students to provide information, peer support, and referrals. The Helpline is open to all undergraduate and graduate students who wish to share a problem, need information, or just want to talk to an unbiased listener.
• The Peer Counseling Helpline is staffed and managed by trained student volunteers. These students are knowledgeable about the variety of campus resources which are available to provide assistance. It is not staffed by professional counselors nor is it a crisis hotline.
• Students turn to the Helpline for a wide range of issues. Calls often address academic concerns, relationship difficulties, loneliness, sexual health issues, stress, drug/alcohol questions, or sexuality issues. Students also contact us for referrals to other resources.
• The Peer Counseling Helpline is available to provide an unbiased, supportive, listening environment. Some issues are uncomfortable to discuss even with close friends or family. The Helpline's confidentiality and anonymity provide a forum in which feelings can be comfortably expressed.
