Mental Health | Self-Care

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health during this time. The Los Rios Colleges Health & Wellness staff would like to encourage all of our students, faculty, and staff to practice self-care in honor of the national observance of May as Mental Health Awareness Month.

Even when we’re physically distancing, it’s important to have a social support system to help us feel less isolated. Learn the benefits of social support and how to stay connected during the pandemic by reading this self-care article from the CampusWell online publication.

Nursing Students Continue to Help Vaccinate Community

At the beginning of March we shared that Sacramento City College’s nursing faculty and students were volunteering to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to the community. So far, the RN & LVN students have donated a total of 692 hours and have given 25,000 vaccine injections! Great job to our nursing students! We are so proud!

Shoutout to SCC’s IT Programs!

Shoutout to SCC’s IT programs that were recently highlighted by the Chancellor’s Office at an informational hearing for the Legislative Analyst Office (LAO). The key criteria used in selecting the IT programs at SCC was information about the living wage achieved by graduates of the program. Congratulations to our team!
