by elaineadlam, 6 months agoHi,
My name is Elaine Adlam. I am the lead nurse for Grossmont College Health & Wellness. I can be reached at elaine.adlam@gcccd.edu. The website is https://www.grossmont.edu/student-support/health-and-wellness/index.php.
Our office supports student success through providing for the physical and mental health needs of students as well as health promotion activities that provide services and educate our students.
Our research has shown that students are lacking a sense of belonging and I believe that through our programs we can increase the sense of belonging that leads to student success.
