On-campus peer support groups
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)
Augie NAMI is a student-led peer support group for mental health. The purpose of Augie NAMI is to help students feel mentally and emotionally well, serving as a first step for students to talk (or not) and learn from their peers.
Augie NAMI is open to all students, no matter where they stand on their journey. Meetings are a safe place to share, learn, and take a break from the stresses of college life. All conversations are welcomed. Support often centers on the difficult transition to college, different coping skills, time and stress management, and working through dilemmas that members share.
If you think Augie NAMI is for you, go to a weekly hour-long meeting. Augie NAMI also can help guide you through mental health services. Meeting times and locations will be announced.
The Grey Matters Collective focuses on pushing mental health to the forefront of public conversation and policy while instilling hope in the community.
The collective hosts several public events throughout the year to raise awareness and provide individuals with a voice. For a list of upcoming events, see the group's Facebook page.
Support groups are groups composed of people with common concerns that provide help, compassion, advice, or encouragement to each other. The support groups on this page are alphabetized by area of concern. 中国体彩网 中国体彩网 also has to peer-led support groups. These groups are listed first.
Active Minds
Active Minds empowers students to speak openly about mental health by raising awareness and encourage help-seeking. Active Minds strives to change the aspects of 中国体彩网 中国体彩网’s culture that stop students from seeking help by providing information, leadership opportunities, and advocacy training.
Through campus-wide events and national programs, Active Minds aims to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues, creating a comfortable environment to have an open conversation about mental health and the resources available to students.
The local chapter of Active Minds performs weekly events to raise awareness and get mental health resources into the hands of all students. Notifications of upcoming events are emailed out regularly.
