Conscious Connections

Feeling lonely, even in a crowd, is more common than you might think. In our search for meaningful relationships, even a wide circle of friends may not always fulfill our need for deeper connections. The Conscious Connections group offers a welcoming space for UU students looking to connect more deeply with themselves and others. Through open conversations, we share experiences, explore mental health and connection, and support one another in a like-minded community. With mutual understanding and encouragement, we aim to improve our well-being, grow in self-awareness, and remind ourselves that we do not have to do this alone.

For whom

Students at Utrecht University or the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht who are curious about their relationships and mental health, and would like to engage in open conversation with others.

Provider

This Peer2Peer support group is an collaborative initiative between the Clinical Skills Lab - Clinical Psychology and the Student Well-being Team. The sessions are hosted by master’s students in Clinical Psychology who have lived experience with the group’s topic.
