Peer companionship can be a very rewarding and gratifying experience by exploring valuable helping skills and acquiring elementary mental health knowledge. You may learn how to observe others while listening actively, communicating empathetically and responding non-judgmentally. You may also appreciate emotions as a universal language and trusting relationships as a human need.
