The Peer Well-Being Network at Ohio University is a dynamic, student-driven initiative dedicated to enhancing mental health and holistic well-being across our campus. We are a community of Ohio University students who are dedicated to uplifting and empowering their fellow peers through promotion of well-being efforts. Our mission is to break down barriers between peer leaders, fostering collaboration and support through a series of strategic programs and events.
Each semester, we host gatherings where peer leaders connect about current student experiences, reflect on campus well-being, and explore strategies for supporting themselves and others. Whether you're a peer mentor, RA, wellness ambassador, organization leader, or simply someone who cares about your community—you’re welcome here.

The Peer Well-Being Network is about empowering our community to promote student well-being and creating spaces where all students belong.
