The mission of The UCLA Family Commons is to inspire families and communities to discover their unique potential for well-being. We offer a welcoming environment filled with classes, events, coaching and excitement about creating healthy, engaged lives.

We envision a world where all possess the tools they need to move through the world with confidence and innovation—for life. Healthier families make stronger communities, and healthier communities make stronger families. When children and parents take charge of their own well-being, they build both.

Coaching

Action-oriented, individualized coaching is at the core of everything you’ll find at The UCLA Family Commons. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to coaching, so we’ve designed dozens of ways you can work with a Family Coach to take charge of your own well-being – in whatever ways work best for you and your family.

It’s our job to make healthy living as exciting as possible for the whole family. We know it’s easier to change your life when you’re having fun, whether it’s eating delicious food that’s healthy too, or getting fit with martial arts, yoga, or some other activity you love. Our team of artists, scientists, teachers and technology experts is constantly designing new experiences that inspire you on your journey to lifelong wellness. Learn more.
