In the coming weeks, Salt Lake Community College’s Center for Health and Counseling, or CHC, will help organize multiple healthcare events, including a health fair, stress management workshops and flu vaccination clinics.
Student health fair and stress management workshop
On Tuesday, the college will host a student health fair at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the student event center.
The fair will offer free health checks including eye exams, blood pressure testing, pulse oximeter readings, HIV testing and mental health screenings performed by licensed counselors from the CHC.
Then, starting on Oct. 12, license counselors from CHC will begin stress management workshops, running weekly through Nov. 2 at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus from 10:30-11:45 a.m. each Wednesday.
Students interested in the workshops can sign up using this link.
