About Us
UCSF Fresno Wellness and Mental Health Support Services is designed to provide medical students trainees with free, confidential, and accessible counseling services. Our goal is to foster a safe and supportive learning environment. We hope to empower learners to develop their professional identity, find meaning within their medical school experience; and to embrace the value of diversity and personal growth throughout the journey. To this end, we encourage learners to know themselves well, develop strong coping skills for self-care and emotional resiliency, and fearlessly pursue their values.
Visit the UCSF Medical Student Well-Being website for more information on resources on mindfulness, therapy, and more.
