| The Peer Counseling Center hotline and walk-in center is a student-staffed counseling and crisis intervention telephone line and drop-in center. Peer counselors are trained and supervised to respond to students' requests for support, information, and referral. All enrolled students may use this confidential service. Anonymity is ensured except in emergency situations deemed dangerous to life.
Students can feel comfortable speaking to someone their own age to whom they can relate. Peer counselors are a group of carefully selected Adelphi undergraduates who undergo extensive training.
