College Support Circle:
Support Group for Students in College

Many of us know what it’s like to be a student in college and having to juggle all the excitement and stress that college life can bring. Whether you are transitioning into college for the first time or have been there for months or years, this College Support Circle is a virtual support group designed to help you navigate this time of your life. Our group provides a safe and welcoming environment where students can share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs with peers who understand what they are going through. Our guided discussions cover a range of topics including homesickness, academic pressures, social adjustments, and mental health care among others.

All group sessions are conducted virtually and in a confidential and non-judgmental setting to ensure participants feel safe to express themselves openly. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed with schoolwork, or simply looking for a supportive community and some reassurance that you are not along, this support group is here to help you adjust and thrive in your college journey.
