UCLA Psychological Health Shelter

UCLA Psychological Health Shelter (PHS), is dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of the unhoused population in our community. We noticed a deficit in mental health spotlighting and resources, especially when it comes to psychological support and human-to-human connection. Instead of focusing on physical items, our club prioritizes actively visiting nonprofits with temporary housing and shelter residents. We organize fun activities such as arts and crafts and engage in meaningful conversations to de-stigmatize the unhoused population and help them connect with the younger student generation at UCLA.

​

Through these workshops and interactions, we aim to break down barriers and foster understanding between students and the unhoused community. Our approach is rooted in compassion and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. By creating spaces for creativity and conversation, we hope to empower individuals and build lasting relationships that go beyond material assistance.
