Dear Students,

 

Counseling and Wellness Center is committed to fostering a healthy and supportive environment where students can openly discuss mental health, challenge stigmas, and emphasize the importance of seeking support when facing mental health issues.

 

Introducing our online Peer Support Community, a platform designed for all students to connect with empathetic peers, safely express their struggles and emotions, increase awareness about mental well-being, and cultivate a sense of belonging!

This Online Community can be accessed via web browsers or mobile apps. For a more convenient access, after successful registration, you can download the "Mighty Networks" mobile app, find and add the "Peer Support Community" within it.
