Health Events
Visit the Upcoming Events page for a list of health events!
Alcohol education
We get it. College = parties, friends, and sometimes alcohol. If you choose to drink, we want to give you the tools to do so safely!
That’s where Alcohol 101+ comes in. It’s a FREE, self-paced course made for college students (a.k.a. you). No lectures or homework, just quick, interactive scenarios that actually apply to real life.
In just 30 to 40 minutes, you’ll learn how to:
- Handle social situations with alcohol present
- Pour a standard drink
- See how your choices affect your friends – not just you
It’s free. It’s easy. And honestly? It might save you from being the story everyone tells the next morning. Take Alcohol 101+. Your future will thank you.
For additional details, help with the course, or ADA accommodations, please email Whitney Ockey at whitney.ockey@slcc.edu.
Bruin Bites
Bruin Bites is a collection of simple, affordable and nutrient-dense recipes. It was created to help college students feel more empowered to cook healthier recipes at home. A digital version can be found below, and printed copies can be obtained by visiting the Taylorsville Redwood Center for Health & Counseling (STC 035). For additional recipes, follow @slcc_chc on Instagram!
