ASAP Vision

Our mission is to provide high quality confidential counseling services for all levels of the UC Davis Health System staff in a safe and supportive environment using highly skilled clinicians.

• We are sought out by individuals and the organization because our responses are supportive and understanding as well as realistic and resourceful.
•  We are leaders in supporting staff and the health system organization by developing new and creative responses to the continuing challenges and demands in this era of change and uncertainty. 
•  We are a strong team. We support one another in individual as well as team endeavors. We respect and build on the unique skills and contributions of ASAP staff: clinicians, support staff, and clinical interns.
•  We use new technologies, whether clinical, organizational, or technical, to creatively offer staff meaningful resources and support.
