What is The House?
The House is a confidential peer counseling center offering a variety of free and confidential services to UCD students. The mission of The House is to provide a supportive, relaxed, accessible, and non-judgmental environment for students who wish to explore personal issues and interpersonal problems. The House falls under the administrative umbrella of UCD's CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services). It is staffed by student volunteers who receive structured training and supervision from CAPS professionals. The staff believe an integral part of building this supportive environment entails recruiting student volunteers who reflect the general campus community. The focus on training is a critical and valued dimension of The House because it assists peer counselors in responding sensitively and capably to student needs.
