Peer Support for Mental Health

Presentation Type

Oral Presentation

Abstract

During these tough times the importance of peer support groups has gone up. In the past, universities and their different organizations were able to create programs and get funding for their students. Now, with the change in funding, legislation, and the pandemic, students are feeling even more isolated. Thankfully, there have been numerous brave students taking action and developing their own support groups, clubs, and activities for students at UNI. The Supporting Campus Mental Health GA's would love to shed a light on those amazing students, as well as talk about the importance of peer support groups/activities through this presentation.
