The primary goal of the Peer Advocate Liaison Program (PAL) is to empower students to help their classmates and peers in times of crisis. Ongoing problems or crises happen from time to time, making it difficult for someone to get connected with available resources. Many times students just don’t know where to turn. Students know their classmates better then anyone else at LSU Health Sciences Center. Students who are having academic problems or problems with depression, alcohol, drugs, or relationships can come to PALs first in the search for help. PALs act as temporary liaisons between students and the campus resources that can assist them. PALs are not trained for counseling or crisis intervention. For more information and a list of current PALs, click here.
