Health and Well-Being

Your health and well-being are as important to us as they are to you, which is why we offer different services to support you.
Students can check out the Intranet for more detailed information about on-campus and community health services (i.e. doctors and crisis services).

Counselor

If you run into issues of a more personal nature, that you would like to share with a professional in confidence, contact the Student Counselor.  Jessie Hillebrand is part of the on-campus support specialized in counseling.  If you are struggling with a decision you need to make, feeling down, stressed, or overwhelmed, while at UCR then you are welcome to make contact.
