RIO is an online workshop that will show you skills to handle uncomfortable feelings through a series of short videos and journal exercises. RIO online is based on the RIO workshop created and generously shared by the Cal Poly University Counseling Services Team. This online workshop will help you recognize what you want to change in your life and give you a roadmap to reach your desired goals. 

PeerCast

Casual conversations about topics that sometimes aren’t so casual.

"PeerCast: A casual chat with the Peer Educators" is a Florida International University podcast series created & hosted by Eliandro Ramirez Chang. Eli is a Miami local, a student in his senior year, and a university employee working as a LEAD Team Peer Educator at FIU’s Counseling and Psychological Services & The Victim Empowerment Program.

Join Eli along with the other Peer Educators as they discuss topics such as stress, sexual assault, mental health and more. Oh! And sometimes they get into arguments about philosophy and aliens.
