Our peer counsellors are open-minded, non-judgemental and comfortable when dealing with sensitive issues in a counselling role. They are trained to deal with issues relating to STIs, abortions and pregnancy, sexual orientation, and contraception and abstinence. Although our counsellors are not experts on any of these topics, they have been given the training and tools necessary for handling situations such as these, as well as how to access resources pertinent to the issues at hand. For more serious issues, such as rape or abuse, our counsellors are available to offer support and will make referrals to more appropriate services.
