Our Story and Vision
The Well is UCR's student well-being and health promotion department, founded in 2010 as part of the campus and UC system-wide Mental Health/Healthier Campus Climate Initiative.
The Well provides Highlanders with training, resources, skill-building opportunities, and programming for a variety of topics, including mental health, substance use, sexual health, physical activity, nutrition, and general well-being by professional and certified peer health educators.
Students can grab FREE health-promoting supplies on-demand through The Well's Grab-N-Go service. In addition, peer health coaching, online training and assessments are available to all UCR students for FREE.
The Well follows a comprehensive and holistic wellbeing approach centered on equity that goes beyond providing programs and resources. It focuses on system-wide health promotion and education efforts through campus-wide policies, initiatives, changes, collaborations, to actively embed and prioritize a culture of wellbeing for all 26,809 students.
