Wellness Peers are trained student leaders who create a welcoming and supportive environment at UFV. They provide informal peer support, share helpful wellness tools, and connect students with campus and community resources. Wellness Peers also host events, lead Connection Groups, and encourage a culture of care and balance on campus.
Drop by the Student Wellness and Experience Lounge (S1111) during business hours to relax, connect with others, or see if a Wellness Peer is available to chat.

It shows up in pop culture and dating conversations as choking, but what do we actually know about consensual sexual strangulation?
