GRCC staff, students, and faculty are invited to a movie screening on campus next week: The Ripple Effect.

  • WHEN: TODAY, March 14, from 4-6 p.m.
  • WHERE: 168 ATC
  • WHAT: The Ripple Effect highlights the story of Kevin Hines who, at age 19, attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a very powerful film that attempts to bring awareness to mental health and reduce the attempts of suicide.

Bob VandePol, Executive Director of Employee Assistance Programs at Pine Rest, and Stacey Heisler, Program Director of the GRCC Counseling and Career Development Center, will be present at the screening to help facilitate discussion and help attendees process their thoughts, questions, and/or concerns.
