Hello, I'm Alvin Singh (he/him), Peer Support Specialist at TMU. I began my journey by earning an Honours Psychology degree at York University and later completed an Addictions and Mental Health certificate program at Humber College. I am very excited to contribute to the growth of future TMU students. My experience from my peer work at CMHA, where I assisted individuals with substance issues, conducted psychoeducation sessions, soccer activity group for clients and facilitated groups on depression, anxiety and recovery.
As a person who has had anxiety, lower self esteem and lower grades and I understand what it like going through the struggles of being a student.

Hi, I’m Alex (she/her), and I’m here to offer peer support for students who may relate to my experiences. I’m currently in my final year of the BSW program, and I have a background in Addiction and Mental Health/SSW, having completed my diploma as a mature student. As a single mother of four, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing academics with parenting, especially while navigating anxiety and neurodivergence.
I understand what it's like to juggle multiple responsibilities as a student, a parent, and as someone who faces personal and mental health challenges. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets it—whether it’s the struggles of being a single parent, managing anxiety, or navigating school as a neurodivergent individual—I’m here to support you. I believe in the importance of educational support and am passionate about helping students succeed in spite of the challenges they face.
