Finding Your Community Through Support Groups for College Students
College is supposed to be exciting, but it can also feel exhausting, lonely, or confusing in ways you didn’t expect. Support groups for college students offer something that most of us don’t get enough of: a place to be honest without feeling judged. If you’ve been overwhelmed by stress, unsure how to adjust to campus life, or carrying feelings you don’t want to burden your friends with, this free support group led by CFR Clinical Interns Ally Wolk and Sophia Russi gives you a space to breathe, talk, and feel understood by people who get it.
Why This Group Matters
Balancing classes, relationships, identity questions, work, and future goals can leave you feeling stretched thin. Many students want help but run into long counseling waitlists or feel unsure about making a one-on-one appointment. Ally has seen these barriers up close in her work as a peer wellness coach, and she created this group so students can get support that feels accessible, welcoming, and real.
Research backs this up: peer-based support can reduce stress, increase connection, and improve overall mental health for college students. A study from the National Library of Medicine found that students in structured support groups reported stronger resilience and lower feelings of isolation.
What CFR’s Support Groups for College Students Offer
Each week includes guided reflection, open conversation, and practical coping tools you can actually use in daily campus life. This group centers emotional safety, community, and personal growth — helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and less alone in what you’re navigating.
