Peer-to Peer-Support

Welcome to P2P!

We are a diverse group of students dedicated to academic success, called to serve our community’s mental health needs by providing transformative, non-judgmental support to our peers. 

Juggling school, family, relationships, jobs… it's hard. It's stressful. Most of us need support to succeed and thrive in our academic journey. The P2P Team is here to support you through your BCC experience with compassion, respect, and help accessing resources. Our Mental Health Ambassadors complete ~50 hours of training in providing peer-to-peer mental health support to our BCC student community.

Success Inc.

Success Inc Logo

Success Inc meets over Zoom on Wednesday nights from 5:30-6:30.

Bring your dinner and your stories to Success Inc. if you want or need a community that fits your schedule.

Success Inc. was created by Berkeley City College students in the HUSV Program to provide a space of community and trust outside of our virtual classrooms.

The current facilitators of Success Inc. are members of our P2P team. These folks are trained in Mental Health First Aid and Peer Support to help make a welcoming space to share, learn, and grow through our journey at BCC.

Most of all, we strive to create a space of dignity and belonging.

One-on-One Peer Support

Feeling stressed? Need to talk about it? Peer-to-Peer Support can help. Trained Peer-to-Peer Mental Health Ambassadors are here to provide you with understanding and space to share whatever you are going through.  We focus on creating a non-judgmental space and listening with compassion.  We can also help link you to campus resources if you want.  Some examples of things people like to talk about: feeling overwhelmed with school deadlines, breakups, minority stress, loneliness, feeling stuck, family drama, sexuality and identity, substance use/abuse, COVID stress, and anxiety of all kinds.  Our team has lived experience with these issues. We understand and are here to help.
