Healthy UC Davis funds projects that support our strategic goals to improve the overall health and well-being of our community. For the 2023-25 funding cycle, Healthy UC Davis combined its efforts with Student Affairs to fund the following projects:
Providers with UC Davis Student Health and Counseling Services, or SHCS, will be prescribing nature to their patients as part of their holistic care regimen.
This grant helps champion a culture of health and well-being throughout the UC Davis community by advocating for an institutional practice of increased support through family visits to campus so that Native American students can more easily thrive academically and socially.
This project will provide several informational sessions discussing suicide, research and tools on prevention, and how to fight suicide in collaboration with AFSP and UC Davis mental health resources.
This project will promote emotional well-being through creative art expressions for
undocumented students. After initial funding and success in 2021 with its pilot, it is now being relaunched in fall 2023.
Kicking off an accessible pathway network to connect the open spaces and programs of the SLLC on West Campus, Phase I of this project will establish two accessible entryways, an outdoor classroom space, and make accessibility improvements to an adjacent, student-built greenhouse in the Orchard Park neighborhood.
This project is a medical improv workshop focused on helping healthcare providers and trainees navigate difficult conversations with topics ranging from motivational interviewing patients to negotiating boundaries with colleagues and supervisors.
Learning to ride a bike offers participants a life-changing new skill. One that not only offers benefits for physical and mental health, but it’s also good for the environment! We will provide in-person, on-bike, bike riding classes for the 6% of our community who do not know how to ride.
This initiative project aims to address food insecurity and promote personal hygiene by providing essential items to those in need. The Mobile Pantry will bring sustenance and hygiene products directly to the heart of our campus, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all.
