Does the support role of an S2S peer mentor equate to the support role of the welfare officer?

At Dining Hall hustings, you spoke astutely of the lack of specialised counselling support in Trinity. As it is unlikely that the SCS will be hiring swathes of new counselors anytime soon, what is your short-term solution for supporting students who need these services?

The counselling service is running on an inoperable budget, supply of affordable student-fit accommodation is plummeting, and huge numbers of students suffer from mental health difficulties.

Can you explain to us the logistics of training 400+ class reps in SafeTalk?

While most candidates talk of moving mental health campaigning forward, you talk of the need to run positive mental health campaigns, many of which have been run in the past. Is this unimaginative?
- You advocate alcohol-free events. Do you think encouraging total abstinence is the most effective way of discouraging binge-drinking? What is your thinking in advocating abstinence over responsibility?
