Wellness Initiatives

  • Mental Health Collaborative

    This multidisciplinary group of university leaders, experts and advocates from each campus works to strengthen mental health services across the UT System. By identifying gaps, sharing best practices, offering mutual support and promoting systemic change, the collaborative ensures that student mental health remains a top priority across the system.

  • Wellness Working Groups

    These dedicated groups bring together UT faculty and staff to tackle key wellness challenges identified as high-priority needs across the system. From preventing substance misuse to supporting caregivers, these groups lead collaborative efforts that promote a healthier UT community. Contact the Chief Wellness Officer to learn more.

  • UT Wellness Mini Grants

    We’re supporting faculty and staff who are leading the way in creating a healthier, more supportive environment for our students. Through the UT Wellness Mini Grants program, we’re investing in bold, student-centered ideas that promote sustainable well-being across our campuses. UT faculty and staff can access the Central Hub to learn more and apply here.
