CW3E Peer Support program

We have developed a Peer Support program to help new employees in their transition to new roles at the Center. Newly-hired employees are paired with a more senior colleague to receive guidance on a range of topics – research, career development, resources available as a Scripps employee, life in San Diego, overall well-being.

Resource Maps

The Inclusion Committee has compiled a selection of resources to support our community. These links provide guidance and opportunities for building connections locally, accessing mental health support, and navigating conferences and professional events. We hope these resources help foster an inclusive, supportive, and engaged environment for everyone.
