June Highlights

Spotlight on the LGBTQ+ Caribbean Immigrant Experience

Nicole Dennis-Benn is a multi-award winning author, born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. She now lives in Brooklyn, NY. Her second book, Patsy, takes a look at the Caribbean immigrant experience through her heroine, Patsy, who leaves behind a young daughter in Jamaica to try to create a life and find love of her own choice.

Visit the Brish Library's pages on LGBTQ+ Pride month, National Caribbean-American Month and Immigrant Heritage Month for more resources.

Dealing with PTSD in College

Students may experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other mental health disorders for a variety of reasons. College adds an additional stress to an already complex situation. June is designated to bring awareness to the struggles individuals with PTSD have. The U.S. Student Abuse and Mental Heath Services Administration created a useful handout outlining several coping mechanisms.

At the college, we are dedicated to helping all students reach their full potential. If you or someone you know may need additional assistance while attending HCC, please visit Disability Support Services.
