Drop-In Student Lounge

All students are invited to join our weekly in-person peer drop-in programming at our UTSG office! We’ll be meeting each Wednesday from 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. in the Gerstein Library, B139, and snacks will be provided.

Through weekly activities, students will get creative, relax, make friends, and learn something new about themselves through gentle discussion and art. This is a safe and welcoming space for all, organized by the SVPS Centre’s peer education and support team, who are all U of T students themselves. No registration is required.

In the Winter 2026 term we’ll be meeting on Wednesdays from January 14 until March 18.

Join us to find a likeminded community of students, and participate in activities as you choose. We’ll have regular discussion topics, tactile crafts, writing prompts, and a caring team of fellow students who are there to listen and support. We look forward to welcoming you! Please note: A TCard is required to enter the library. If you have forgotten your TCard, you can share your uTORID with the security guard at the library front entrance.
