In order to promote a caring and supportive culture on campus, the Student Counselling and Development Service of the Office of Student Affairs established the 'uBuddies' Peer Counselling Network in 2010. The project is aimed at nurturing carefully selected non-final-year undergraduate students to serve as peer counsellors who can share their experiences and wisdom with fellow students.

The latest batch, uBuddies '14, have completed systematic training in peer counselling skills and mental health first aid as well as practised under supervision in the past six months. With the commencement of the new academic year, they have also been providing various peer support services and activities for the benefit of the student community, as well as managing the uBuddies E-box.

The sixth batch of 'uBuddies' is now open for recruitment. Details are available at here. For enquiries, please contact Ms. Kong at 3943 1804.
