Awesome Event of the Week: TOMORROW!
The Single Stop office is pleased to invite you to a Mental Health workshop series. The goal of the workshops is to raise awareness, reduce stigma, provide resources and share knowledge on Mental Health. See flyer below.
What is Single Stop?
Delgado Community College has partnered with Single Stop USA, a non-profit organization, to create a "One Stop Shop" for students to get connected to resources that will help keep them in school. The idea is to have a place where students can go to get screened for multiple government benefits and local community resources, receive assistance in accessing those benefits, and follow-up to see if they have in fact received the benefits they are eligible for. Single Stop staff use a specially designed technology known as BEN (Benefits Enrollment Network) to do rapid screenings for benefits, and then assist students in applying for those benefits. All Single Stop services are FREE for Delgado students and their families.
