A grant from the UC Equity in Mental Health Funding Plan enables the Samueli Office of Wellbeing, in partnership with the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute, to provide wellbeing services to Susan & Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences students (all undergraduate and graduate students in nursing, public health, pharmacy, and medicine) for the 2022-2024 academic years. This offers students early exposure to integrative health and to the opportunity to take these courses within an interdisciplinary environment.
The grant provides two in-person mindfulness courses per year that are offered to participants at no cost. The first course is six weeks long: “Mindfulness for UCI Healthcare Students.” The second course is also six weeks long: “Mindful Self Compassion.”
There will be the option to participate in one-to-one 30-minute free sessions on mindfulness, nutrition, sleep and mental health check-ins.
