National Prescription Drug Take Back Day @ Near You
Apr 24 all-day

Why should you dispose of you unused or unwanted prescription and over the counter drugs? Research shows medication residues leach into water systems, posing serious threats to wildlife. Out-of-date medications can also cause adverse effects due to deterioration or changes in the active ingredients and can lead to accidental poisoning.

WISE Wednesdays (Special Guests Doug Everhart & Beth England-Mackie) @ Zoom
Apr 28 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Join the Wellness Initiative in Social Ecology (WISE) Peers as they host their weekly WISE Wednesday, where they create a space outside of the classroom space allowing the UCI community to have a space to chat about mental health/wellness with our guest speakers.

This week’s special guests are our very own Doug Everhart (Director) and Beth England Mackie (Assistant Director) who will be giving an overview of our department and it’s resources. We hope you can join us and learn more about our department!

WISE (@uciwisepac) aims to improve and expand upon mental/behavioral health and wellness programming services for Social Ecology students while complimenting ongoing campus efforts. We plan to address gaps in current existing resources available to students, including avenues that may be indirectly related to mental health and well-being.
