Wellness - online program to learn coping skills and build resilience
Digital Mental Health with Coaching - online, self-paced lessons assigned to address needs and 1:1 Zoom coaching with a Certified STAND coach
Clinical Care - individual telehealth counseling with a clinician to address needs

Hear from Ty, an ELAC STAND Coach on their training experience!
The STAND program invests in communities by purposefully training people who are not mental health professionals to become certified coaches.
We hope that through the training experience, you will:
quickly gain experience in mental health as a possible career path,
experience all the benefits from learning practical skills to improve your own mental health,
share what you learned and build resilience in your community,
build and develop transferable communication and organizational skills that can bolster transfer, graduate school, and/or career credentials,
be a part the UCLA ALACRITY Center research grant to expand knowledge and services.
