TalkCampus is a network exclusively for students to share the ups and downs of life. TalkCampus is a community to talk to students from around the world any time of day or night. Anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, or even self-harm. It's a safe place where students can talk anonymously about anything without judgments.

TalkCampus isn't a replacement for counseling or professional support; however, it is a great place to start talking and to make sure the student knows he or she is not alone.
