Mood Lifters

08/28/2024

Undergraduate students encounter a unique set of challenges and stressors. College students have a particularly high rate of mental health concerns, yet they often experience an especially challenging time trying to access care within university counseling centers and traditional healthcare settings (NIMH, 2020).

Mood Lifters is a revolutionary mental wellness program that teaches scientifically validated strategies in a supportive group setting. This study will test a new version of the program designed specifically for undergraduate students. In this study, you will complete questionnaires prior to and after the program to help us understand the efficacy of this version of the program.



If you join this study, your group will be made up of other undergraduate students who share similar challenges and goals. These groups will be guided by experienced peer leaders who have benefited from the program in the past. In the past, our groups have led to significant depression and anxiety symptom reduction among adults. Our hope is that our undergraduate student program will also provide additional school-specific benefits.
