Abstract

A structured peer support system is a novel intervention recently adopted in university students' mental health and well-being worldwide. A diverse number of definitions and classifications for a structured peer support system have been provided in the literature and numerous reports have included and supported the service provided by peer support volunteers. It may not be a replacement for professional mental health services. It may be a valuable complement to today's student support system on university campuses. In this general review, we aimed to examine the literature, exploring the origin, change the concept of informal to formal type structured peer support system, challenges to implement for structured peer support system and provide guidelines for structured peer support at university level.
