Togetherall
The Togetherall platform is an online peer-to-peer support program, brought to campus by the Office of Student Wellness.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your workload, struggling socially, or just not feeling like yourself, Togetherall may be able to help. Togetherall is a safe, online community to share feelings anonymously and get support to improve mental health and wellbeing.
The platform is free to Miami students, anonymous, and monitored by mental health professionals. Students can join groups that resonate, post about their situation, and find support from their peers. For example, one group is dedicated to students who frequently feel homesick. Another focuses on students who struggle with test anxiety. One group encourages users to share what they are grateful for on a daily basis.
Togetherall offers students a space to receive support from their peers, even when they are at home or unable to engage with in-person resources on campus. It increases capacity for supporting students on and off campus.
In addition to peer support, Togetherall offers regular self-assessments, articles, and self-guided courses.
It is important to note that Togetherall is not therapy; mental health professionals only monitor activity and reach out if a student is needing services outside the scope of the platform.
The platform is available now. Students must use their Miami email to register.
Student Wellness
The Office of Student Wellness provides educational resources and services that promote the health and wellness of Miami students. Our staff of professionals and peer educators work to raise awareness, coordinate programming initiatives, and influence policy that results in healthy choices.
