HORNS HELPING HORNS NEWSLETTER
November 2020
Hello all,

We are rounding the end of a difficult semester which has been full of changes, new discoveries, and an infinite amount of Zoom calls. You have all put a tremendous amount of hard work into this semester. I am proud of you for rising to each of the challenges you have faced. I hope that the resources and events featured in this newsletter will help you to finish this semester strong.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Service Project. We were able to send over 50 cards to hospitalized children through our collective efforts. Great job! In other exciting news, we recently welcomed a new member of the HHH family, Paige's newborn son Jackson! Jackson was born October 8, 2020 at 2:56pm, weighing in at 6 lbs. 15.8 oz. Isn't he precious?
Even though we are done with HHH events for the semester, HHH is always here for you! Please reach out if you need support through finals or over break. We love hearing from you and are always eager to help with whatever we can.

Hook 'Em!

Living and Thriving During Fall Break: Don't Get Emotionally Stuffed!

Monday, November 16 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. As we draw near to fall break, the transition to the “home stretch” may take some creative coping. This event is a mental and emotional health-focused discussion that will give you some practical tools and practices that really work when it comes to staying emotionally balanced, communicating your needs effectively, honoring the new person you are now that you’re finishing this semester at UT Austin and even helping friends and family have the most meaningful and peaceful break possible.
