More than just cup of tea

Maybe you've seen a poster or the info displayed on a screen around campus: Unitea, an opportunity to sip, chat and connect. But what's it like to participate in a one-to-one experience with Unitea? I decided to check it out and wanted to share the experience with you, from signing up to the event itself.

So what is Unitea?

It's an opportunity to have a conversation with a caring and supportive trained volunteer host for up to an hour in a supportive and judgment-free environment. You both get a beverage and sit down for a chat. There are plenty of reasons to sign up: you can talk through a particular issue or conundrum in your life, maybe you want to practice talking to someone in an easygoing casual setting or you just want to connect with someone new in the U of A community. Unitea offers a caring and confidential space for these conversations to happen and for a community to be built.
