UCI HR Wellness is here to support your mental health and wellbeing. Good things like kindness, graciousness, and civility not only uplift you and those around you, they result in significant health benefits too, including less stress, more optimism, and stronger resilience. Plus, the benefits happen whether you’re giving, receiving, or observing these positive actions.
Join your UCI and UCI Health co-workers in focusing on good things. Whether you join the challenge, attend a webinar, or explore the many “Good” resources available, check out the UCI Good Things opportunities below to help motivate and inspire you.
Registration opens February 14. Spots are limited.
