The AC Purple Couch™

Nov 06, 2024 - Apr 16, 2025 |11:00am-2:00pm

Are you feeling down? Do you have family or friends you would like to support? Do you want to learn more about mental health resources or do you just need someone to talk to? The Student Health & Wellness Zone welcomes you to participate in the AC Purple Couch, which promotes mental health awareness and aims to support students, foster success, and reduce the stigma of mental illness.

Whenever you see the AC Purple Couch™, grab a seat, and speak your mind. Chat with the person beside you, trained student leaders, or mental health professionals. Just talk.

Join us every Wednesday, between 11 am-2 pm, in the J/N Building link.

Please note, there will be no AC Purple Couch during Mid-Term Break or on days where the College is closed. To learn more about these dates, visit the Academic Calendar.
