Live well, be well, do well, and love well
Open Circle
(last update September 8, 2008 )


Open Circle is a “traveling venue” that prides itself on “meeting you where you are at” literally. The Open Circle events are “free” workshops / presentations available to all HCC students provided by faculty, staff and community organizations.

The purpose of the workshops/presentations is to educate students about mental health/wellness issues and promote awareness of campus and community resources that are available to help students deal with “life stressors” and reach their educational goals.

The workshops and presentations may be conducted in small or large groups anywhere on campus.

There may be an “OPEN CIRCLE” event coming to your classroom very soon !!!!
