"Heavy Hearts Collective: Support for Sadness & Depression" SHARE Community Meeting

About

Have you been feeling the weight of sadness, grief, or depression? In this community, we share our stories and support each other through the loneliness and self-judgment that often accompany tough times. We'll use low-effort activities like journaling and doodling to explore our emotions as we engage in discussion, anonymous advice sessions, and more. At your own pace, join us in opening up without filters and connecting over shared struggles. No formal diagnosis required.

Note: This is not a replacement for clinical mental health services.

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. We aim to give fellow students a place to be themselves and feel at home, where their resources and inner wisdom can directly benefit others going through similar struggles.

INTEREST FORM: (link below)

Any UT student may submit an interest form and attend ANY open SHARE Community at ANY time of the semester. Submitting an interest form is not a commitment, just an introduction to connect you with our peer facilitators!
