The RVSP PEER Program is a team of undergraduate students committed to creating a campus culture grounded in healthy relationships, respect, consent, and safety. Through peer education, relationship and communication coaching, outreach, and campus programming, PEER Educators equip students with practical skills to recognize unhealthy behaviors, communicate boundaries, support one another, and help prevent sexual and relationship violence.
RVSP’s PEER-Led Relationship & Communication Coaching provides students with an opportunity to build practical skills for navigating relationships, communication, boundaries, consent, and dating. Click Book Now to book a session with one of our coaches.
Book NowDuring one-on-one coaching sessions, trained RVSP PEER Educators guide students through structured activities and conversations focused on a specific topic. Rather than providing advice or telling students what decisions to make, PEER Educators help students reflect on their experiences, identify their goals, practice communication skills, and consider strategies they can use in their relationships.
We all give and receive care differently.
This session explores the concept of love languages and how understanding our own preferences, as well as those of others, can strengthen communication and connection. We'll discuss how to express care, navigate differences, and avoid common misunderstandings in relationships.
Whether you're meeting someone for the first time or getting to know a new partner, safety and confidence go hand in hand.
This session covers practical dating safety tips, digital safety considerations, and ways to trust your instincts while building new connections. We'll focus on strategies that help you feel informed, empowered, and prepared.
Consent is more than a one-time question. It's an ongoing conversation built on communication, respect, and enthusiasm.
In this session, we'll explore what consent looks like in everyday interactions and relationships, practice communication skills, and discuss how asking can build trust, confidence, and connection.
Healthy boundaries help us protect our time, energy, values, and well-being.
In this session, we'll talk about how to identify your boundaries, communicate them clearly, and respect the boundaries of others. Participants will learn practical strategies for navigating difficult conversations and creating healthier relationships.
Sometimes unhealthy behaviors can be disguised as love, concern, or protection.
In this session, we'll explore common mechanisms of control in relationships, learn how to recognize warning signs, and discuss what healthy relationships look like instead. You'll leave with practical tools to identify red flags and support yourself or a friend when something doesn't feel right.
