MiraCosta Student Advocate, Ceara Carson, and Director of Student Services at San Elijo, Colleen Maeder, met up with our Mental Health Counselor, Abby, at the Student Senate of California Community Colleges Advocacy Academy in Riverside.
 
Abby, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and President of the CCC Mental Health and Wellness Association is speaking about Sustainability as a Student Leader: How to Balance Self-Care, Your Studies, Advocacy, and Leadership Without Burning Out.
 
The student leaders from across the state are inspiring! Don’t forget you are a student, too, though! It’s important to balance student leadership, clubs, and life, with your studies. If you missed the talk, schedule a drop in with any of our counselors to come up with your own plan for sustainability.
