The Health & Wellness team works collaboratively within Student Engagement to support the overall well‑being of the DACC community. Our approach centers on preventive care, education, and early intervention. The team consists of a Social Worker, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, and a Public Health Outreach Coordinator—each bringing a unique perspective to student wellness.
Together, we develop programs, events, and activities designed to address physical health, mental health, safety, and basic‑needs concerns. Students can visit Crimson Connection for upcoming dates, locations, and event details. Below is a sample of what Health & Wellness offers throughout the year:
