Health and Wellness
Strive to Be Healthy in Mind, Body and Spirit
Moreno Valley College believes in serving our students beyond the classroom. That’s why we try to help address all dimensions of wellness, including physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational and financial. We offer on-campus health care, access to food and clothing, mental health counseling, interactive workshops, referrals to local services, and more.
From looking after a cough to immunizations to counseling, the Wellness Center provides compassionate, confidential treatment, education and support from qualified healthcare professionals. Most services are free or available at a reduced cost.

Reasons to Seek Support

Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention

Crisis Support, Stress and Treatment
We all struggle sometimes. Don’t let stress get the best of you. Learn coping strategies, get a friendly ear, and receive education, referral and direct assistance from trained professionals. -
Addiction, Substance Abuse and Gambling
Handling an addiction can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. Student Health & Psychological services can guide you to tools and resources to ensure your personal success. -
Domestic Violence, Rape, Assault Support
We're here to support you. If you're a victim of domestic violence, rape, or assault, trained professionals, as well as a Title IX officer, are ready and willing to help.
Taking Care of Your Basic Needs
Food. Shelter. Clothing. College students sometimes suffer to meet these basic survival needs. Students shouldn’t have to choose between eating and learning, attending school or having a roof over their head, or struggle to find the clothing right for a job interview.
