Students will learn about resources and other UCI support services that they can utilize to address any issues that they may encounter throughout their academic careers at UCI. Through pre/post surveys conducted at the beginning of the academic year and again at the end of the year we will assess students' perception of their own socio-emotional / mental wellness to improve by 5% from last year.
Benchmark 75% of program participants will complete at least one peer-to-peer consultation and complete a pre/post survey identifying 1 or 2 resources that will help support their socio-emotional or mental health during the year.
