New Ground

Starting something new can feel exciting, confusing, or both at once. Whether you’ve moved to a new city, begun a new study program, or are navigating a new phase in your studies, New Ground offers a place to pause and reflect.

In this peer support group, UU, UMCU, and HU students come together to share experiences, connect with others, and explore what it means to study, live, and grow in a new chapter. You don’t need a specific problem to join — just a willingness to meet others and reflect on what you expect from yourself as you take your next steps.

For whom

Students from Utrecht University and the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht who are looking to make a fresh start, together with others and with intention.

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.
