Summary

This pilot study aims to explore the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary efficacy of the Be There Certificate (BTC) program, a digital mental health literacy and peer support intervention among college students living in shared housing. This study addresses the growing need for scalable, skills-based mental health interventions that empower young adults to support one another in their everyday environments. In particular, the study seeks to understand whether students can complete and engage with the BTC content and how they apply these skills in real-life peer interactions. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, the study will examine changes in mental health knowledge, attitudes, and peer-support behaviors among students who complete the BTC program, and explore the lived experiences of those who provided and those who received support post-intervention
