Resilience In Your Student Experience Center

We are so glad you are here!

The RISE Center's core mission is to uplift and support every Bruin’s well-being by providing the education, resources, and tools needed to be well, belong, and become.

As an extension of UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), we are committed to helping students build a strong foundation of resilience that includes caring for their mental wellness through daily practice.

Our intentional programming and restorative on-campus space are run by a dedicated and diverse staff who are committed to helping students become their authentic selves in accessible, supportive, and inclusive peer-oriented spaces.

All services are free of cost and include an array of workshops, trainings, drop-in consultations, and self-directed resources. Programs are offered both in the RISE Center and in collaboration with students, staff, and partners across campus.

The RISE team invites you to RISE Center any day of the week while we are open, especially if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful space on campus.

RISE Center Hours

RISE will open from 1-6 pm on December 15-16 due to staff training and close for the Winter Closure from December 17-January 2. We will re-open on Monday, January 5 starting at 9 am. Have a wonderful break Bruins!

RISE is open most days of the week from 9am to 6pm during Fall Quarter, but Wednesdays we open at 10 am (the RISE Community Space opens at 10:30 am) and Fridays we close at 4pm. Please join us any day of the week when we are open for a peaceful and quiet space to study.
