The Counseling & Mental Health Center fosters peer support communities, which are led by TCU students who work closely with staff members. The goal of these supportive communities is to expand social support and increase connections with like-minded students. They are not designed to treat symptoms or provide clinical interventions. Currently, support communities are meeting in-person and virtually.
Below is a list of our current peer support communities, please select the community for more information including descriptions and meeting times. To ask specific questions or to receive more information on how to get involved please fill out the form at the bottom of the page. If you have general questions, contact Dr. Eric Wood at e.c.wood@tcu.edu.
If you are interested in starting a new peer support community, contact Joe LeConte at j.leconte@tcu.edu.
