The primary purpose of these groups is first for students to meet others who share similar experiences, to share their stories of success, and to build their own peer networks.

The following groups are currently running:

SMILE Group

Do you ever wonder how Mental Illness impacts learning? Want to figure out how to be a successful student? Learn what strategies other students use? Join us for our SMILE peer group (Students with Mental Illness In a Learning Environment)

The group is a peer group (not therapy) that gives students the chance to share success and get perspective from other students who share some of the same experiences.

We will be hosting online meetings for this group at the following times:

• Meetings will resume in Fall 2021
