Campus Chapters

Students of AMF campus chapters provide direct support to college students coping with the illness or death of a loved one-- a large group of students, in serious need.  22-30% of college students have grieving the death of a loved one in the last year.  College provides an extremely difficult environment to cope with loss. Students often experience a decline in GPA, social anxiety, and feel "alone, helpless, and guilty."

Students of AMF campus chapters use a collaborative, community-based approach to supporting college students coping with the illness or death of a loved one through three components: Support Group, Service Group, and Angels program (faculty/staff mentoring). Students of AMF chapters connect students to other peers who "understand" through a Support Group, provide opportunities for all students to raise awareness and funds for important causes through the Service Group, and opportunities for faculty and staff mentors (Angels) to provide support to members of the Support Group.

Testimonials from members of Students of AMF:
