Student2Student support network

The Student2Student Support Network provides an informal body of welfare contacts for members of St. John’s College. They are there just for a chat, to point you in the right direction, and some provide welfare supplies. They are appointed by Katie Mackay, the Student Support Officer, Kate Bruce, the Chaplain, and the welfare officer. They are not elected by JCR vote, like the welfare officer and their assistants. The Student2Student Support Network aims to provide a broader base of welfare contacts who are representative of St. John’s students. The network is intended to supplement existing structures and bridge the gap between the very informal welfare structures of friendship, the formal JJCR elected welfare team, and College staff. Members of the network receive welfare training on topics including listening skills and confidentiality.
