Our Mission: Strive 2 Thrive is a Pitzer College mental health and wellness campaign focused on increasing awareness, education, and support by engaging students in the ongoing conversation of self-care, wellness, stress management and other important topics to empower students to take care of themselves in proactive, meaningful ways. We do this through outreach, events, workshops, drop-in support and Mental Health and Wellness Ambassador programming.
Welcome to Fall 2023! We are so glad you are here.
