North Country Community College Peer Advocate Program Ready to Assist Local Students

North Country Community College students are ready to help others through the Peer Advocate program. The college's Human Services department and Community Connections of Franklin County developed this initiative. It's designed to support students facing challenges during their college years.

The team includes four peer advocates trained to address issues like mental health, addiction, health care, financial problems, housing, food, and health insurance. They can provide resources and direct students to the right services.

Students can contact a Peer Advocate by calling or texting 518-521-8480. They will receive a response within 24 hours. All communications are confidential to protect the privacy of students seeking help.
