Representatives from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield recently visited On Point for College in Utica to present a $2,500 Health and Wellness Award. The funds will be used for the program’s Mental Health Support in Safe Spaces for First-Generation College Students program, which provides mental health workshops for college students and quarterly trainings for front-line advising staff to improve their empathy, advocacy, and listening skills as well as their understanding of mental health issues. The program will also provide Safe Space and NARCAN training to the entire staff, to serve students’ needs.
