The use of this form should increase the accuracy of reporting the number of incidents at Whitman, and can lead to an greater accountability for the actions of the accused, while maintaining a student's individual rights. This Center is made up of Whitman students who are committed to listening and helping their peers. They are not professionals, rather they are students who have been trained extensively in peer counseling and who are trying to provide a beneficial service to other students. Although the Peer Counseling Center is an extension of the Whitman Counseling Center, it is entirely student-staffed and directed, and consists of people with natural rapport whose background is common to yours. This enables them to provide many services in an environment which is an alternative to conventional counseling.
All services are private and confidential.
