On behalf of UCR Healthy Campus Mental Health Subcommittee:

 Dear UCR students/UCR staff and faculty:

The UCR Healthy Campus Mental Health Subcommittee is inviting you to participate in a campus-wide Mental Health Climate Survey. The questions in this survey seek to better understand UCR students mental health knowledge and background, their knowledge of campus and community mental health services, and their ability to access mental health support. The information you provide in this survey will help UCR explore opportunities to do the following: create a more supportive mental health climate, expand and improve its mental health services and resources, and more effectively share information about those resources with students, staff, and faculty.

This survey will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary and your answers will remain anonymous.
