About Penn
Penn Bens is a student-run peer counseling organization. It was started to provide a confidential and comfortable space for students to talk through their stresses. Come visit us online at Zoom or at Van Pelt Library (Rooms 101.9/101.10) from Sunday-Thursday @8-11 PM EST to talk about anything! We really want to hear you. All of our peer counselors are trained, which means that they are great listeners. No appointments or sign-ups are necessary. We can't wait to see you!
