The mission of the Student Health & Well-Being cluster is to promote a culture of health and well-being for the student community, deliver equitable high quality innovative services, incorporate inclusive approaches, and celebrate diversity, with the goal of adoption and maintenance of healthy behaviors contributing to the academic success and personal development of all students.

The Student Health and Well-being (SHW) cluster of the UC San Diego Health System plays a leadership role in creating a strong and active wellness culture at UC San Diego that enables all students to flourish in body, mind and spirit. This includes promotion and the expansion/development of a student health and well-being center, and the transformation of existing departments under the oversight of the Executive Director into a cohesive, multi-disciplinary source of integrated wellness services. The SHW cluster includes the departments of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Health Promotion Services (HPS), Strategic Planning, Innovation, and Research (SPIR), Assessment and Analytics (SHAA), Student Health Services (SHS) and SHW Administration.

Health Promotion Services is responsible for campus-wide education, outreach and prevention efforts on a variety of health topics. SHW uses a public health model in conceptualizing the delivery of programs and services. HPS provides services related to alcohol and other drugs (AOD), physical activity, gender-affirming care, smoking cessation, sleep, stress, sexual health and mental health topics among others. HPS utilizes peer educators, marketing and a variety of campus-wide campaigns to impact the students on a population basis. Additional programs are targeted to groups of students at higher risk on selected well-being topics. Individual services are available such as health coaching, biofeedback, stress management, sexual health, and other well-being related services.

The Collegiate Recovery Coordinator contributes to student success/student well-being by planning, coordinating, and implementing high quality, recovery supportive programming for students engaged in the Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP). Programs include, but are not limited to, peer recovery support, service opportunities, sober social activities, and academic success. Through these efforts, this position will contribute to the continued development of students.

In addition to serving students in recovery, the Collegiate Recovery Coordinator will provide resources and materials to friends and family members of persons in or seeking recovery. The Recovery Coordinator will educate the campus community about recovery and be the primary point of contact for the students in the Collegiate Recovery Program community.
