Tea & Talk with Peers

Are you an MACP student looking to connect with other fellow MACP students to share your experiences and support one another through your academic and professional journey?

Join the Mental Health and Wellness Team for Tea & Talk with Peers – a monthly peer support circle where we gather over a cup of tea (or your favourite beverage) to discuss topics relevant to counselling students.

What to Expect

  • A supportive, peer-led space (please note that this is not therapy)
  • Engaging discussions on topics such as imposter syndrome, burnout, self-care, and managing multiple roles (as a student, family member, professional, etc.)
  • Opportunities for self-reflection, connection, and community-building
  • A casual, judgment-free zone to share and listen.

When

  • Last Thursday of every month (1-hour virtual meeting through Zoom)
  • 10:00 AM (Pacific Time)
    1:00 PM (Eastern Time)
  •  

Join Us!

Bring your tea, bring your thoughts, and let’s have a talk!
