UCS offers weekly support groups where students can build community with fellow students navigating similar experiences. Students do not need to be enrolled as a UCS client to participate in a support group.
Examples include groups for Chronic Illness, Grief, Neurodivergent Students, Rainbow/LGBTQIA+, Survivors of Sexual Violence, and VCYou: Finding Your Path. Click on the link to learn about available groups and sign up.
