What is Peer Wellness Coaching?
Peer Wellness Coaching at Penn is a free and preventative service that enhances Penn students’ wholistic wellbeing. Our Peer Wellness Coaches are well trained to offer 1-1 coaching to students. You will feel heard, supported, and empowered after coaching. Moreover, you will be clearer about your wellness goals, make action plans toward those goals, and be kept accountable by your coach.

Peer Wellness Coaching at Penn uses the “8 Domains of Wellness” as its framework. Your Peer Wellness Coach will offer support, resources, and accountability in the following topics:

- Emotional health: emotion regulation, confidence, imposter syndrome, stress management, etc.
- Time management and procrastination
- Relationships
