This week’s “You know?” student communication

You know? LLCCThe student communication project’s focus this week is on student wellness and celebrating progress.

Please join us in reminding students that reflection is important.

  • Have they celebrated successes?
  • What’s going well and what could be improved?
  • Are they practicing self-care?

LLCC student success coaches are students’ partners and can help them reflect on their journeys. In addition, the college collaborates with Talkspace, a telemental health provider, to offer free mental health services for currently enrolled students.
