The Chemical Dependency Assistant program under the direction of Lori Howell participated in the National Depression Day event at all the Southern campuses yesterday by holding an afternoon of depression screenings and substance abuse screening from 4 to 7 p.m. Students at LHC campus and members of the Havasu community came by to "take the test" and talk to counselors from some of the local behavioral health agencies.
This made me think (especially now during mid-term tests) of the importance for us all to be able to identify and ask for help when we are under stress--and not coping.
I just wanted to take this chance to remind everyone that help is available if you are feeling stress or feel that you aren't able to cope with life and college. Please talk to one of your instructors or go see your Academic Advisor. Talk to someone. Don't give up on your education or yourself.
And, remember during all of this rush time please "take time to smell the roses"...
