Student Testimonial #1
“Peer Connections is an open, private and confidential space where I am able to express my struggles and accomplishments as a student here at Solano. During the pandemic, one of the things I struggled with as a student was being able to work with others or relate any of my struggles to any of my classmates. I often felt alone navigating online learning, and at times it became challenging to keep up with the rest of my peers during lectures. Not everyone I interact with sees learning the same way I do, but it was nice to find people that did in Peer Connections. In peer connections I am able to be honest and vulnerable with people that feel similar to the way I do at times. Entering a new semester after Peer Connections makes me feel more at ease and more comfortable reaching out to others when things start to feel overwhelming. It makes me feel a sense of pride knowing others know they can rely on me whenever they feel stuck or overwhelmed like I once used to. It also puts me at ease knowing we are a close knit group and we can always lean on each other whenever we need to.
I only hope and wish it will remain like this years beyond transferring from Solano. I have made some wonderful friends with Peer Connections and I only wish more people had a support system like the one I’m part of.”

“I would describe Peer Connections as a peer support/ social group that is a safe space to share with each other the challenges of life while making it though one of the most stressful periods of our lives. It’s allowed me to not feel alone while struggling to get through a semester, and also meet wonderful people that I may not have gotten to know otherwise. Our meetings have been a comforting thing to look forward to when the heaviness of burnout felt nearly suffocating.”
Student Testimonial #3
“Peer Connections has given me a place where I can come and talk openly about anything in life without judgement. We all come from different walks of life, but have the commonality that we all are SCC students and share an understanding that we have similar struggles. It has been very therapeutic for me and helps balance my mental health. The people I’ve met through Peer Connections have become my friends.”

“This group has kept me motivated. I have been having personal issues come up this semester. I felt like giving up but the group checks on me and has offered their support. Without this group I probably would have quit school again.”
