Handbook for mental wellness practitioners

SMU launched a book entitled “A Basic Guide on Peer Helping” on Friday. It provides useful information for mental wellness practitioners and professionals in schools and institutions, and it is the collective effort of four SMU counsellors based on their shared experiences and valuable insights gathered from the Peer Helping programme. The concepts and information presented in this book can be used by professionals, educators and administrative leaders who are interested in, or are looking to set up peer-led programmes at their own institutions. The book launch serves as a precursor to the launch of the Mrs Wong Kwok Leong Student Wellness Centre. The new facility is named after Mrs Wong Kwok Leong, who has pledged a gift of S$1.6 million in the form of endowed donation to SMU.
