Health and Wellness

Our goal is to help you concentrate on your education, not worry about your health.

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.

Reasons to Seek Support

  • Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention

    If you are thinking of harming yourself, talk to someone immediately. Resources include the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (1-800-273-TALK), Lifeline and Crisis Chat (1-800-273-TALK (8255)) or text a counselor (text HOME to 741741 for free, 24/7 crisis counseling).

  • 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.

About Basic Needs Monty's Market

Food and Nutrition

Monty's Market distributes healthy, nutritious food to MVC students in need with pick up and delivery options. Our campus and neighboring community also has a number of resources to address food insecurity. We welcome donations and volunteers.
