HEART Peer Counseling
HEART peer counselors are extensively trained and supervised by our counseling staff. Their goal is to help their fellow students by providing a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential counseling space.
The Hartwick Empathy Assistance Referral Team (HEART) is here for you! Follow us on Instagram @heart_counselors for office hour updates and information about campus events.
HEART peer counselors maintain your privacy at all times and sign a confidentiality agreement with Hartwick College. Members are supervised by and have access to the counseling center staff for support and guidance.
