Capacity Building
Gatekeeper Program
The programme is designed to offer sensitivity training for various student groups, residential advisors, cohort leaders, and student representatives.
It aims to train in identifying sources of anxiety and stress, offering peer support, and helping connect students with the right resources. Through these training we have managed to build a well-equipped group of first responders from amongst the campus community.
Dial-A-Peer (DAP) Helpline
 |
ACWB has regularly offered the DAP helpline. The helpline offers emotional support to students through trained student volunteers. Callers may speak confidentially without fearing shame or judgement. Student trainees are coached on picking up signs of anxiety or depression and are supervised by professional counselors. The emphasis is on listening without advising and on providing a space to vent emotions. |
