The AC Purple Couch

Jan 11, 2022 |10:30am-12:00pm

Are you feeling down? Do you have family or friends you would like to support? Do you want to learn more about mental health resources or do you just need someone to talk to? Health Services welcomes you to participate in the AC Purple Couch that promotes mental health awareness and aims to support students, foster success, and reduce the stigma of mental illness.

From 10:30am-12:00pm, on January 11, join the Purple Couch to participate in a guided journaling session to reflect on your current mental health and goals for the term. All you need is a piece of paper, a pen, and an open mind. You will also get a chance to engage with peers, discuss mental health, and learn more about on and off-campus resources and materials to best support you this term. See you there.
