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.
RISE Center Hours
RISE at Lu Valle Commons is now open from 9 am to 6 pm Monday-Thursday and 9 am to 4 pm on Fridays. Our RISE at Rieber location will open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday-Thursday starting Week 1 of Fall Quarter. Hope to see you soon!
In case of an emergency where immediate assistance is needed, call 911. In case you need support, but not necessarily in need of emergency/immediate assistance, feel free to call CAPS 24/7 line at 310-825-0768.
