Mental Health Resources: Togetherall Training
Togetherall is a free online mental health support platform with psychoeducational resources, self-guided courses and support related to various mental health topics, and a community forum where members can share anonymously and support one another. The platform is monitored by trained/licensed professionals for any crisis-related concerns. This is a free, easy, and efficient resource for students to access mental health support either as a supplement to, or in place of, therapy. Many students have found it to be incredibly helpful and end up using it repeatedly.
The staff at Togetherall offer brief virtual trainings/demos throughout the year. The Sociology Club participated in a training during the fall semester of 2023. Below is a link to a recording of the training, for students who were unable to attend but are interested in learning more about Togetherall.

Mission Statement
The Sociology Club will function to assist all Loyola students in exploring their academic interests in socially relevant issues and expose more students to the field of sociology. The club will promote sociological theory and methods through a variety of meaningful community service projects and sociology-based activities such as social events, field trips, volunteer opportunities, guest speakers, and group discussions. These activities will cultivate enthusiasm and energy which will inspire students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world.
Enrollment
The Sociology Club membership is open to all current Loyola students.
Leadership
The Sociology Club is led by a Student President(s) and a Faculty Moderator (FM). Officer positions are held for the duration of one full school year.
