GatorSUPPORT Groups

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

WHAT IS A SUPPORT GROUP?
GatorSUPPORT Groups provide a safe and supportive environment for students to share thoughts and feelings, increase self-awareness, give and receive feedback, gain skills and resources and learn new ways to cope with personal challenges. Support group participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles and often benefit from the mutual support and learning that occurs in the support group setting.

All groups are confidential and free for actively enrolled UHD students for the current semester.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? Gator Support Group topics for Fall 2026 are:

  • Anxiety Support Group
  • Belonging Support Group
  • Caregiver Support Group
  • Gators in Gear: Esports Performance & Wellness Group
  • Gators in Recovery: Recovery and Resilience Support Group

Please see the Group Referral Form for descriptions. Anyone can refer a student with their consent (signature on form required) or a student can turn in a form for themselves. See instructions on form.
