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 foster health, healing, and hope for themselves and the world around them.

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 is open most days of the week from 9am to 5pm during the summer, but Wednesdays we open at 10 am (the RISE Community Space opens at 12 pm) 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.

Check out our RISE Spring 2025 brochure for all events!

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.
