Understanding psychological disorders, one piece at a time

The Missing Piece is a UCLA student organization dedicated to increasing understanding of psychological disorders through education, meaningful conversation, and community involvement.

🧠 LEARN A PIECE

First Monday of Every Month
Each month begins with an educational meeting introducing the psychological disorder being highlighted. Members will explore its symptoms, diagnosis, contributing factors, treatments, current research, and impact on individuals and communities.

🎤 HEAR A PIECE

Following Monday
The following Monday, members will hear from three guest speakers who bring professional, research, community, or lived-experience perspectives related to the disorder being highlighted that month.

🧩 GIVE A PIECE

Last Week of Every Month
The final event of each month turns what we have learned into meaningful action through a fundraiser, service initiative, awareness effort, or community collaboration supporting a cause connected to that month’s disorder.

Our first MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT

Depression

For the month of November, The Missing Piece will be highlighting our first psychological disorder: depression. Depression is a complex psychological disorder that extends beyond feelings of sadness and can affect how individuals think, feel, behave, and function in everyday life. Throughout the month, we will examine the biological, psychological, and social factors associated with depression while exploring its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and broader impact on individuals and communities. Through education, diverse perspectives, and meaningful action, we aim to deepen our understanding of depression and the importance of accessible mental health support.
