About us

Empowering Students, Creating Change.

At Super Peer Counseling, we equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support their peers and foster a culture of mental wellness. Through our research-based online platform, we provide accessible, self-paced training that empowers students to recognize warning signs, offer support, and create real change in their schools and communities.

By expanding our reach to more schools, we are building a network of trained peer supporters who are helping to reduce stigma, strengthen connections, and make mental health education a priority.

WHAT THEY THINk

Our students love us

“Being a peer counselor in the S.U.P.E.R Peer program was one of the best experiences of my life. Dr. Sarmiento and the rest of the peers are the most supportive and nicest people you will ever meet and the training that we were offered did not only give us skills to utilize for the rest of our lives, but we become a resource for our classmates, friends, and family!”

Hannah

“I never knew how to start the conversation, now I do. Learning these skills made me feel more connected to my peers.”

Jonathan

“I used to feel helpless when a friend was in crisis. Now I know what to do. This training should be in every school. It truly changes lives..”
