A Place To Talk

A Place to Talk (APTT) is a non-profit organization based in Baltimore, Maryland, dedicated to providing peer support to the Johns Hopkins community. The organization is small, with a team of three employees. APTT offers a peer listening group staffed by trained undergraduate students. These student volunteers have undergone rigorous 50-hour training programs in active listening skills and crisis intervention, facilitated by the JHU Counseling Center. APTT's services are focused on providing a safe and confidential space for individuals to discuss their thoughts and feelings without receiving direct advice. What sets APTT apart is its unique approach to support. Rather than offering solutions, trained peer listeners empower individuals to explore their own thoughts and feelings, ultimately leading to self-discovery and personal growth.
