HACC Yeah®! News
Greetings, HACC supporters!
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. HACC knows that the challenges and uncertainties of life can impact one’s mental health. The College wants everyone to be aware of the signs, symptoms and resources available to anyone who is experiencing a crisis. If you, or someone you know, are experiencing thoughts of suicide, please know there are many options available to access immediate help.
Welcome to our newsletter, HACC Yeah®! News
We will continue to share relevant information and keep you “in the know” as we serve and support HACC students.
In this difficult time, we want to share with you the ways HACC and the HACC Foundation are doing our part during the global coronavirus pandemic. Please visit hacc.edu/Coronavirus for more information.
