- Berkeley, California, United States
Our mission is to create a platform for all UC Berkeley students and clubs to share stories, insights, and knowledge pertaining to mental health and wellness. After numerous student surveys and market research, we found that the wealth of available mental health resources UC Berkeley provides was being overlooked by students because they can be difficult to find. We also set out to address the stigma surrounding mental health issues on UC Berkeley's campus. Our solution? To create a hub for all things wellness. Not only do we aim to develop sense of community by providing all UC Berkeley students a space to speak their own truth and find individuals with similar or enlightening experiences. BearSquare was created by students for students, so our content is curated to provide informative and personal articles, an easy-to-use visualization of the different wellness services on campus, and a comprehensive list of all mental health and wellness-related resources and organizations.It can often feel as if we're struggling alone. By providing a space for any student to share their story, we hope to connect people and empower them to speak their truth.
