A brief description of the institution’s wellness and/or employee assistance program(s):
UC Davis Student Health and Counseling Services or SHCS provides a wide variety of medical, counselling and wellness services to all registered UC Davis students. Counseling Services under SHCS provides student-centered mental health services, advocacy, outreach, and consultation to promote psychological well-being and academic success.
Free teaching kitchen (cooking classes), recovery resources and Health Education and Promotion (HEP) are some of the programs under Wellness Services. HEP focuses on using a dynamic public health approach to foster and build environments, institutional practices and a campus culture that promote student success and lifelong well-being. The four content areas under health education and promotion includes Sexual Well-Being; Mental Well-Being; Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Risk Reduction; and Physical Well-Being (which includes nutrition, unintentional injury prevention and physical activity).
The UC Davis Staff and Faculty Health and Well-being Program (SFHWB) was launched during the summer of 2016 based on recommendations presented to the Chancellor through Staff Assembly and the Academic Senate. These included:
- Assigning a budget for ongoing assessment, environmental support, incentives, communication, education and evaluation;
- Hiring a Worksite Health Program Manager to direct the initiative and harmonize campus and UC Davis Health wellness efforts; and
- Aligning UC Davis Health and campus resources to coordinate an integrated, comprehensive worksite health and wellness program that covers Sacramento, Davis and remote sites.
The SFHWB Program was developed as an initiative under Occupational Health Services to develop, promote and support a thriving culture of health and well-being throughout the UC Davis community so that our staff and faculty can learn, teach, innovate and contribute to society.
Goals of the SFHWB Program are aligned with those of Occupational Health Services, wherein successes are measured in part by low worker injury and illness. This is accomplished through effective integration of progressive safety initiatives and health and well-being programs.
Vision: UC Davis is the healthiest community in the nation
Mission: Develop, promote and support a thriving culture of health and well-being throughout the UC Davis community
We will accomplish this by:
-Creating comprehensive, integrative and collaborative leading practice programs
-Providing staff and faculty with support, information and tools to engage in healthy behaviors and to prevent injury and illness
-Advocating for policies, institutional practices and a built environment that makes the healthier choice the easier choice
-Harnessing the intellectual capacity of the University of California to develop research and practices to continuously improve the well-being of our community
-Aligning and leveraging resources to strategically manage risk and reduce cost
Value Statements:
-Health and well-being can be learned and practiced to continually enhance quality of life; Individual health and well-being includes awareness, commitment and open-mindedness; Community health and well-being includes collaboration, integrity and inclusion.
Further, UC Davis WorkLife provides programs, policies, referrals and education that enable employees and students to be effective at work, school and home. WorkLife encompasses dependent care and family services, occupational success, holistic well-being, financial support, workplace flexibility, events and community involvement.
The WorkLife program uses different means to reach employees, including activities and presentations. "WorkLIfe on the Road" visits departments and discusses worklife integration, holistic wellbeing and available services. WorkLife and Wellness also provides the Lactation Support Program with quarterly classes, monthly support groups, private lactation consultation and 69 lactation rooms with hospital grade pumps.
Additionally, the Academic and Staff Assistance Program offers confidential, cost free assessment, intervention, consultation and referral services to all UC Davis and UC Davis Health faculty, staff and their immediate families.
