Mental Health & Wellness

We understand that academic success is closely tied to a student’s well-being. In addition to academic support, we connect students with programs that foster a sense of community, identity, and belonging. This includes access to the APIDA Center and First Peoples Center programming, where students can participate in cultural and social events, including Cultural Celebrations such as Filipino American Heritage Month, Indigenous Heritage Month, Diwali, and more.

We also partner with the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to offer APIDA + CAPS Sessions with AANHPI counselors, providing tailored mental health support that recognizes the unique challenges AANHPI students may face.

Health and Wellness Workshops

Educational Workshops & Programming

Our ongoing YOURS Programming offers workshops on topics that directly address the academic and career needs of our students, from study skills and goal-setting to career exploration and internship opportunities.
