Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that every 11 minutes, there is 1 suicide death. Those left behind grieve and struggle to make sense of the loss. Stigma prevents people from reaching out because suicide is complex. 

On November 18th, we will gather to provide support and understanding to those of us who have been impacted by suicide. Within the safety of a Sharing Circle, we will offer care and consideration for those affected.  Please join us as we provide support for our community in this important way. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, please email: wellness@mendocino.edu.

Free to All Mendocino College Students & Staff - Food Provided

The LGBTQIA+ Program would like to officially invite you to a cultural humility workshop on October 16th from 2-4 pm in Room# LLRC4210. This training is 100% free, and snacks and drinks are provided! Mendo Safe Space will help uncover our own personal biases and better understand our preconceived notions through self-reflection, self-realization, and self-awareness. All are welcome!

Meet the Mendo Safe Space team that will be leading this transformative workshop:
Cynthia Coupe (she/they/them) and Cinnamon (she/her/hers) from the Mendocino County Safe Space Project (MCSSP) will be leading an engaging and interactive workshop using the Cultural Humility model to focus on the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Together, we will delve into the importance of recognizing and addressing our own internal biases to become better allies. Our goal is to view every individual as an expert in their own identity, learn how to effectively support our LGBTQIA2S+ youth, create positive and inclusive spaces, and celebrate the rich diversity of our LGBTQIA2S+ students, families, and coworkers.

Cinnamon is a sexuality educator for the Intellectual and Developmentally Disabled (IDD) populations, while Cynthia is a Speech-Language Pathologist and TEDx speaker with extensive experience working within the neurodivergent community. During the workshop, we will cover critical topics including the heightened risks faced by this community, state-mandated requirements for staff and educators, and the intersectionality of neurodivergent individuals and other marginalized groups. We will also discuss sexual and gender identities, the significance of gender identity pronouns, and effective strategies for addressing harassment, bullying, and unhealthy family dynamics.

We look forward to creating an inclusive and safe space for everyone to talk openly about these important topics. We are excited for you to join us!
