ABSTRACT Aiming to understand the suffering experience of students related to university life and how they can exercise self-care together with others, two studies are reported. In the first, a support group was formed, where six creativity workshops were held with nine students from different courses. Logbooks were recorded during the workshops and open interviews after the group stage. The second survey was a follow-up to understand how students evaluated the workshops as an interventional care action. Open interviews were held months later with students from the previous study. The Analytics of Sense was used for interpretation in both studies, which pointed to the fragility of bonds in relationships, excess of activities and demands, feeling of loneliness and standardization of the way of being a student.The group proved to be an interventional care strategy that fosters the production of other meanings for the student condition.
