HCH MINDFULNESS CORNER



HCH Mindfulness Corner

We are happy to announce the opening of our HCH Mindfulness Corner! Our Counselor - Dr. Paredes and LMS - Ms. Mendoza collaborated to create a Mindfulness Corner at the ILC to give students and staff an area to de-stress and relax. 

The Mindfulness Corner's resources include puzzles, a relaxation area with blankets and pillows, games, de-stress toys like pop-its, stress balls, and fidget spinners. This unique partnership between librarian and counselor has brought attention to mental health and has benefited our students' and staff's well-being by providing a safe space on campus to practice self-care. #bettertogether #studentwellness
