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:
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 aims to create an engaging variety of resources for students to make the basics of creating meals within budget and time restraints easy and fun. It will include videos, live events and webinars as well as interactive worksheets and peer-to-peer communication.
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 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.
Promoting the availability of a free, healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), namely tap water, is a critical component of reducing consumption of unhealthy alternatives like drinks with added sugar.
Our project goal is to increase awareness of the impacts of weight stigma at UC Davis to improve student experience and support student success through both digital and in-person education.
A collaborative and proactive approach by Chicanx Studies Faculty/Staff, Aggie Compass, and Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, this project aims to support the retention and success of Chicanx/Latinx students by providing greater awareness and direct referrals to basic needs resources.
This project aims to destigmatize mental health and spread awareness of campuses resources by holding events and amplifying the efforts of the Resilience Through campaign.
