Being open and vulnerable about our emotions and mental health can be daunting, especially coming from a background where those talks are often considered taboo. This, coupled with being a college student, can lead to burnout, isolation, stress, and more for Black students. Join us for a supportive space where you can feel encouraged, empowered, and validated in your unique experiences and identity while gaining communication and self-care skills!

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.
