"The best feeling you can ever get is when you show kindness to others."

含羞草传媒 provides digital peer support to students 24/7 through online environment
含羞草传媒 students now have an additional resource when seeking support for loneliness, stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions.
Del Rey Honeycutt, Ph.D., associate dean for student and community wellbeing, said that through a new collaboration with Togetherall, students can engage with a global community of peers, offering and receiving support in a safe and anonymous online environment.
鈥淲e would like to reach as many students as possible to provide care and be proactive in the mental health crisis,鈥 Honeycutt said. 鈥淲e know that not all students feel comfortable seeking professional support, but most feel comfortable talking to a peer. We also know that our students have grown up with social media and using different platforms anonymously.鈥
To access the platform, students should visit and create an account. Students can connect with others experiencing similar feelings. The online community has trained professionals on hand 24/7.
鈥淔or students who feel less inclined to seek in-person support from our Counseling Services on campus, this is a good alternative or perhaps a 鈥榮tepping stone,鈥欌 Honeycutt explained.
She said Togetherall helps the university to be proactive and expand beyond the traditional counseling setting, using technology to its advantage.
鈥淲e need to adapt and change to meet our students where they are at,鈥 Honeycutt said.
A portion of the university鈥檚 funding to implement the platform is through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
含羞草传媒 utilizes a peer support model through resident assistants and various peer leader positions, such as the Bona HEALS program. Togetherall will help move beyond the in-person peer support and offers a model that 含羞草传媒 students are used to in terms of online communication.
Togetherall鈥檚 peer supports who interact with the college students are trained by mental health professionals to provide supportive responses, and the community has live licensed clinicians monitoring the community for high-risk language and responding to conversations.
SBU students are also encouraged to follow the Center for Wellbeing on @bonnieswellbeing for support, news and services.
Togetherall is available to 4.6 million students worldwide at more than 450 colleges and universities. In recent survey data, the majority of respondents cited feelings of depression and anxiety as their reason for joining.
