Rafiki Peer Support
What is Rafiki?
Rafiki is the Students' Union's peer support listening service, led by students, for students. If you're experiencing any problems while you're at university, you can talk to our student staff who offer peer support. They can also signpost you to support services on campus or externally which can help. If you would like support for your wellbeing or university life, you can request a call from our team via the referral form below
We work in close partnership with the University's Counselling & Wellbeing team, who support us with running the service. All our student staff receive comprehensive training to prepare them for the role.
Rafiki is not a professional service, and offers peer support only.
Opening Times
Monday – Thursday
11am – 4pm
Referrals
The Rafiki Team will be finishing work for the summer on Friday 31st May 2024. If you are a student who would like to reach out for support over the summer break, please contact: wellbeing-ussu@salford.ac.uk
