Upcoming Events
Join us every Monday for Mindful Mondays!
Every Monday will be a different mindfulness practice such as meditation, mindful movement, loving-kindness meditation, and many more. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to help us cope with life’s stressors. Some of the benefits include anxiety reduction, enhanced sleep, improved mood, and increased ability to focus.
No previous experience necessary and great for beginners. Participants will receive an essential oil roller to carry their mindfulness practice with them wherever they are.
Anteaters for Recovery is a new program at UCI and is intended for students who identify themselves as being in recovery. This could be recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, growing up in an alcoholic family, or any other life altering situation that someone could be in recovery from. Join this safe and confidential space to share or listen and support. All meetings led by a pro staff member also in recovery.
Meetings will take place in the Conference Room of G319 Student Center, here at the Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion.
