Health and Well-Being

At CalArts, we know that thriving in creative endeavors goes hand in hand with maintaining both physical and mental health.

To support this, the Institute provides a range of health services, including counseling, medical care, and wellness programs, all tailored to meet our student body’s particular needs. Recreational activities and fitness resources are also available, encouraging students to find balance through physical activity and relaxation. By fostering a holistic approach to well-being, CalArts helps ensure that every student has the support they need to succeed both in their artistic pursuits and in their overall college experience.
