Why Attend A Community College? by James Fent, LMFT, PT, SUDCC IV
|
First and foremost, community colleges provide quality education with a focus on teaching excellence and subject matter expertise. In addition to quality education, community colleges provide flexible scheduling from day and night classes to online courses. With a focus on student needs, community colleges strive to make the education experience as enjoyable as possible while preparing students for success.
Community colleges are convenient, accessible, and affordable. Martha Parham, senior vice president of public relations at the American Association of Community Colleges states “Cost is certainly one of the primary reasons why someone should consider a community college.” The college data board states that community colleges cost on average about one-third the cost of in-state tuition at four-year public universities. Additionally, community colleges have resources available providing generous financial aid and scholarships that can eliminate financial barriers students may have.

Addressing our Drug Overdose Deaths: Combined Strategies to Optimize Health, Wellness and Recovery through a Culturally Responsive System of Care. |
November 16, 11 am – 12:30 pm
Drug overdose deaths have been rising precipitously over the past few years, with particularly devastating results among African Americans, Latinx people, and American Indians and Alaska Natives. One of the populations most affected by this crisis is people experiencing homelessness. This webinar will offer important information about how communities can reduce overdose deaths among those experiencing homelessness by utilizing combined interventions of harm reduction, supportive housing, SUD treatment and recovery support that are integrated and culturally responsive. Recommendations for system- and provider-level stakeholders to build an integrated, best practice continuum of care will be offered. Certificates of participation will be provided to those who complete a post-event evaluation, but no CEUs are included in this event.
