In recent years, peer support has spread rapidly as an effective student support measure. In this study, four peer support activities ( ①Peer Club Activities, ②Peer Support Extension Lectures, ③Peer Support Lectures at Lifelong Learning Colleges, and ④Peer Support Practice Meeting) were carried out at a university for a total of three years starting in 2016. We gave results and challenges.
Next, considering the practice of the four activities, we will examine what kind of contribution can be made to the university as a whole to the regional expansion of peer / support activities by utilizing the resources that the university has more effectively.
As a result, it turned out that it can be arranged from three. perspectives. Three perspectives are practical student activities, educational dissemination activities, and promotion of interaction among groups. In order to mutually enhance each of these three perspectives in the future, partner-ships with local social and human resources, as well as campus student support, are necessary.
