University Health Services and Recreation & Wellbeing are partnering with Togetherall to provide an online, anonymous peer-support tool available for free to our students.
Togetherall is a clinically moderated, online peer-to-peer mental health community that reaches and empowers a diverse population of students to anonymously seek and provide support by sharing their experiences in a safe virtual space. In addition to the onsite mental health resources we provide, this is another way for students to find support in a way that feel right for them. Whether you’re struggling to cope, feeling low, or just need a place to talk, Togetherall can help you to explore your feelings in a safe supportive environment.
Free, anonymous 24/7 peer support
Togetherall integrates with our 24/7 crisis line for any student in need of additional support. The platform is configured with UW-Madison specific resources alongside Togetherall tools.
