Mental Health Peer Support

As I near the end of my two current courses "Identity & Ethics in Counseling" and "Mental Health Foundations", I am struck by the level of support extended by classmates from both classes.  I wonder to myself, does this support come from the fact that my peers are working toward careers in the mental health field - and are therefore 'hardwired' to help others, or is it a normal and natural part of graduate life?

Ultimately, it makes no matter though - support is support and I am appreciative for any and all that I receive.  Myself and my fellow graduate students are all living through different facets of our lives, and are spread across the country and the globe.  The daily pressures that we each experience differ from person to person, but we all share a common goal and enjoy supporting one another as best as possible during the process.

Love & blessings
Charlotte
