The collegiate journey can be arduous, but with Peerzle, you're accompanied by peers to foster a wellness-oriented environment on campus while eradicating the barriers that prevent individuals from seeking assistance.

Peerzle serves as a platform for casual discussions about daily challenges and is not a substitute for severe mental health conditions or disorders. In case of a mental health emergency, reach out to emergency services (911).

The benefits of discussing problems are substantial. Research from U.C.L.A suggests that verbalizing emotions can reduce amygdala responses, which govern emotional reactions like fear, anxiety, and aggression. Over time, conversing with peers can alleviate stress and emotional turmoil.

For instance, when feeling homesick at college, daily life might seem overwhelming. However, as you acclimate to campus life and confide in peers and acquaintances, those sentiments of anxiety and separation fears can diminish gradually.

While there's no instant remedy for these issues, sharing and communicating can bolster your well-being over time. Furthermore, it aids in managing emotions effectively by enhancing your self-awareness about your emotional state.
