Join a Peer Group

You have the power to help someone and hone your leadership skills by joining a peer group at UCR!

The Well's peer programs raise awareness and educate UCR students about a variety of health and wellness topics, provide opportunities for professional development and foster connections between students on campus.

Our peers represent The Well to the University, and take the lead on the best ways to reach UCR students with our messages, education and programming around student health. All of The Well's peer groups and student staff work together in partnership frequently to address multiple dimensions of wellness.

Peer Groups

Active Minds peers strive to reduce the stigma that often surrounds mental illness, and promote mental health, by increasing awareness, coordinating interactive events, and providing mental health/wellness resources and support.

Golden ARCHES peer educators advocate for responsible decision-making about sexual health, alcohol and other drug use, and general well-being. Golden ARCHES has a special focus on fraternity/sorority and student-athlete communities, in addition to their campus-wide education efforts.

Public Health Peers are a new group formed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Public Health Peers focus on COVID and flu prevention awareness and measures to help keep the UCR campus community safe and healthy. They help to distribute The Well's COVID Wellness Kits, and can be seen across campus distributing face coverings and other safety supplies.
