Renovating for 2026-2027!

Our Mission: Badger Supports fosters a stronger, more connected UWβMadison by centering peer-to-peer connection. We empower students to support themselves, show up for one another, and build bridges to campus resources and communities of support.
Set aside an hour to reset! During Peer Support Groups, there's no wrong answer, and you can talk about whatever feels most present in your life.Β
Academics & Stress: classes, grades, burnout, and balancing work with school
Relationships: Friendships, roommates, family pressure.
Uncertainty: Identity, uncertainty about the future, and housing.Β
Conversations change week to week based on what people are carrying. Groups commonly rotate through relaxing activities like coloring, ribbon making, and board games alongside conversations.
Hearing other similar experiences can feel grounding and reassuring. Many Badgers walk out feeling lighter, more understood, and more connected to other Badgers who get it.

Need a break from classes? Drop in to a Badger Supports Craft Night! Every other week we host fun, creative events where you can relax, meet new people, and make something coolβlike bracelets, vision boards, bedazzled crafts, shrinky dinks, & more!
No experience needed, no sign-ups requiredβjust show up, hang out, and unwind with fellow Badgers.
