In this peer-led community, we’ll share hacks and resources for managing disabilities as well as connect with each other over this often-unseen part of our lives. Whether it be balancing your classes with medical needs or dealing with internalized stigma or impostor syndrome, you deserve the support and community you need. NO formal diagnoses required!

SHARE Communities are weekly student-led groups where peers with similar interests, concerns, or wellness goals can find community and social connection that goes beyond surface-level. They are places to step away from the grind and let down the mask, where mutual support, imperfection, and “real” conversations are the expectation rather than the exception. SHARE Communities were created to combat loneliness on campus by giving students a place to be themselves and feel at home, and where their resources and wisdom can directly benefit others going through similar struggles.

Note: Facilitating a SHARE Community is an academic course requirement for the trained student SHARE Support Specialists. Community topics are all selected by the co-facilitators based on their own interests. SHARE Communities are not a replacement for clinical mental health services.
