A team from academic affairs and student affairs have collaboratively developed these opportunities for us to take good care of our students (and ourselves).
Counseling and the CARE Team remain available to assist students with resources to support their health and well-being. Please refer a student and/or submit a report so that we can assist our PVCC family during this difficult time.
In addition, this may be a good time to remind you all that you have access to mental health resources through our district EAP program.
EAP benefits are available to all MCCCD employees (including part-time and adjunct), their dependents up to age 26 even if they live out of the home, and anyone in the employee's household (regardless of their relationship, age or health insurance coverage). For example, roommates or if you live with and care for an elderly family member they are also eligible for services.
