Suicide Prevention Month: Pet Portraits

Take a break, relax, and celebrate the pets you love during Pet Portraits with local artist Erin Hoffman as part of Muskegon Community College’s Suicide Prevention Month programming.

Whether you bring a favorite photo of your dog, cat, or another beloved companion, you’ll have the opportunity to create a special keepsake while connecting with fellow students in a welcoming, supportive environment. No artistic experience is necessary—just bring your creativity and enjoy an hour of stress relief, conversation, and community.

Join us as we promote mental wellness, build social connections, and raise awareness for suicide prevention through art.

For students struggling with mental health, MCC offers short-term, in-person counseling on campus. Students can also access online counseling through TimelyCare, a free, 24/7 virtual health and well-being service that provides on-demand access to mental health support. Anyone who has thoughts of suicide can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Time: 1:00–2:00 p.m.
Location: Art & Music Building, Room 1249
