King’s Peer Supporters
Supervised by King’s Peer Support Advisor, the peer support workers have received 16 hours of training adapted from the Nova Scotia Certified Peer Support Specialist Program and other training programs from across Canada. They also have their own personal experiences with student life and mental health, allowing them to identify, relate to, and support students on a peer-to-peer level.
2024/25 Peer Supporters
Anika Panet-Carino
Hello! My name is Anika, I am a third-year King’s student studying Philosophy and Psychology.
Since moving to Halifax from Toronto, I’ve enjoyed walking on the waterfront and in the public gardens. I love cooking, photography, and, reading. On campus, you’ll likely see me studying in the Wardie (with pool breaks, of course) or sitting on a comfy chair in the library.
I am looking forward to being a Peer Support Worker this year. Whether it be supporting you through your struggles or chatting about your favourite book, I am happy to talk about whatever is on your mind. I also have ADHD and have overcome my own mental health struggles, so I am always open to giving tips when asked.
Feel free to drop into my office hours every Monday & Wednesday from 3-5pm.
Ambrose Wilson-Moola
Hello! My name is Ambrose Wilson-Moola (they/he) and I am so excited to be one of your Peer Support Workers this year! I am a mixed, trans, queer and neurodivergent student at King’s. I am in the fourth year of my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and History with certificates in Indigenous Studies and Art History and Visual Culture.
I love singing, dancing, making visual art, hiking and foraging, reading, cooking and baking, gardening and having picnics with my friends. My favourite spot on campus is the Indigenous Butterfly and Pollinator Garden (designed by Frances Dorsey in consultation with Michelle Syliboy and the Dalhousie IAC), on the north side of the Henry Hicks Building.
My favourite movie is Howl’s Moving Castle and my favourite book is Name of the Wind. A fun fact about me is that I love the Moomins!
Come find me on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-5pm. You can talk to me about anything you want, big and small, over a cup of tea. Can’t wait to meet you!
