As part of the UCR Mental Health Equity Funds, we have created the UCR Collective Impact Team (C.I.T.) and piloting a Innovative Collaborative Mental Health Initiative Proposal for funds in the amount of $10,000 -$25,000 max. UCR prevention, promotion and health education programming efforts are dedicated to instill healthy behaviors, and to recognize and respond to high-risk behaviors across the campus community.
In an effort to continue (and enhance) mental health support on campus, UCR's Mental Health Innovation Fund will be awarded to departments/student groups to help fund innovative programming or studies that contribute to mental health awareness, research, prevention and promotion efforts. The use of these funds should also prioritize the creation of a sustainable, comprehensive, and multi-prong approach to impactful change that elevates well-being as a community matter and destigmatizes help-seeking for those experiencing mental health challenges.
NOTE: An application is required, budget narrative and contact with a Health, Well-being & Safety partner to proceed with a funding proposal no later than September 9th, 2022 12pm PST. See the following links and attachments for details.
