    Peer Health Advocates

    The College of Idaho Advocate Center is a student-driven department, overseen by the Wellness Center, that is committed to creating a safe, inclusive atmosphere for all members of the campus community through supportive resources & educational programming to promote mental, physical, & academic well-being for all.

    Peer Health Advocates provide supportive resources and educational programming to promote mental, physical, and academic well-being. Advocates are students who engage in extensive training hours and learn from experienced members of our community. They are skilled at helping their peers deal with the stress brought on by the challenges that college life can create, including academic struggles, career planning, burnout, relationship problems, financial issues, family problems, health problems, and general life stressors.

    • After Hours: Call (208) 459-5555 to talk to an on-call Advocate
    • Location: The Advocate Center is downstairs in McCain, passed the Outdoor Program, and across from the student mailboxes
