GC Newsletter: The Rafiki

October 15, 2021

For the month of October, the Counseling Center will be presenting information about mental health awareness since October is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is typically not discussed in our daily lives, however, we all are affected by it. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), “one in five adults in the United States experience a mental illness”. We hope talking about mental health will normalize the importance of it and eliminate stigma. Remember mental health is just as important as physical health.

If you have been interested in counseling, but not sure where to start, a small group might be for you. Please click here to complete the survey to express interest.

The Path Navigator Mentoring Program enhances the new student experience by linking them one-on-one with a peer mentor. Students are paired with a current student at Greensboro College who is invested in helping them succeed throughout their first year — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges, and recognize opportunities. Being a Mentor can be a life-changing experience.
