We welcome all and ecourage anyone interested in joining to check us out. We are here to help educate ourselves and others, and providing resources for helping and socialising. This is just a quick message from your GULDA Exec team :)
We have been having a few people reach out to us for support and we are so pleased that you feel comfortable enough to reach out with your struggles; that is exactl
y the goal of the club! However, it is important to remember that club execs and members are human beings with their own unique circumstances and challenges and that they are not licensed professionals who are trained and/or consenting to offer you the kind of support that a trained professional such as a counselor or therapist would. Please respect your fellow students' boundaries and keep in mind that everyone is trying their best! If you need support, below is a list of options available within Australia, and internationally if you are an overseas student. If you need help navigating the supports available or finding the right service for you, please reach out to our social media and we will do what we can to direct you. Take care of yourselves and please reach out to one of the supports below if you need it!! For Students in Australia:
