Peer assistants in front of Administration building

Welcome to GustieWell

Home of the Peer Assistants! We are Gustie students who provide perspective and (trained!) guidance on everything that affects their fellow Gusties—stress, relationships, drugs and alcohol use, and nutrition and exercise. Any student can meet with a Peer Assistant, online or in person, appointments and walk-ins, and we have events, too. We get it and we can help!

Peer Assistance

Peer Assistants are certified peer educators. The Peer Assistants are available as resources to help you with any issues that may arise. If we are unable to assist you, we will direct you to other on-campus or off-campus professionals.

Stop by the office during our regular office hours to chat with another student about anything on your mind. We are trained to provide wellness coaching and can just be a supportive listener.

If you’d like to meet with a specific PA, please request this g-palist [at] gustavus.edu (via email.)
