The DigiPsyRes network is designed to provide students with the resources and support that they need to build both digital and psychological resilience.
The network is established and sustained by the three universities, so they all make sure that specific student populations, such as first-generation students, students with disabilities, and international students are included. This allows for more targeted support and ensures more targeted support is enabled.
Some types of peer support include:
Peer support is based on trust, equality, shared understanding, respect and mutual empowerment between people in similar situations.
The most effective peer relationships are between people with other things in common.

Student support
Students’ peer support network can help students take control of their health and well-being – to feel accepted; compare experiences; find new coping strategies; increase knowledge; improve social skills; improve self-efficacy; self-manage their condition; improve their quality of life.
The students’ peer support network consists of peer support volunteers (peer support providers) that undergo specialized training and assessments to be able to support students during the academic year.
Confidentiality is an essential characteristic of the peer support network. A session of peer psycho-social support is a safe space for the student-support seeker to talk and for the student-peer support provider to actively listen.
