Join us for an afternoon dedicated to building and celebrating a community of care to promote mental health and wellness among UCSF’s graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Self-care and seeking help for mental wellness are at a heightened state for members of the community, and especially among individuals from historically marginalized and underserved populations in health science. This event will be an opportunity for members of the UCSF campus community to build allyship and foster a stronger sense of belonging.
The keynote address will be open to all members of the UCSF community and will be followed by interactive sessions for graduate students and postdocs throughout the afternoon.
