There's
a
place
that
lies
directly
between
where
you've
been
and
where
you're
going
it's
the
place
in
the
middle,
the
place
where
your
past
and
future
connect
Hawkeye
Community
College,
is
that
place
connecting
you
to
great
faculty,
engage
students
and
for
your
destinations,
like
the
University
of
Northern
Iowa,
every
masterpiece
starts
with
a
blank
canvas,
and
every
success
story
begins
with
an
empty
page.

Today,

B
C
B
B
C
Very
important
mental
health
is
I
think
we
are
having
we
cast
during
this
time,
where
we've
got
social
distancing
happening
to
make
sure
that
we're
staying
connected
to
people
and
maybe
new
ways
that
we
are
not
used
to
having
that
be
our
primary
method
of
staying
connected
to
our
support
system.
So,
while
we
are
physically
distancing,
we
have
to
repay
to
take
it
into
context.
We're
not
socially
forced
a
distance
in
terms
of
not
to
being
able
to
make
contact
with
people
at
all.
C
So
I
think
it's
important
to
to
really
focus
on
maybe
and
and
take
take
inventory
about
in
it.
The
impact
what's
happening
in
our
community
in
Kovan
19
is
having
on
our
mental
health
and
how
we
feel
like
we're
doing
personally,
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
check
of
that
and
reaching
out
in
incorporating
practices
that
just
help
us
to
feel
good
in
making
sure
that
we're
reaching
out
to
supports
through
new
ways,
maybe
ways
we're
not
used
to,
but
still
maintaining,
that
contact
yeah.
C
C
And
while
technology
can
be
really
really
great,
we
also
have
to
be
careful
that
we're
not
over
inundating
ourselves
information
that
stopped
being
helpful
to
how
we're
functioning
and
so
I
think
that's
an
important
piece
to.
We
can
have
kind
of
the
news
at
our
fingertips
and
there's
some
beauty
to
that.
C
But
there's
also
some
challenges
that
that
poses
and
being
kind
of
overdone
with
being
reminded
all
the
time
about
what's
happening,
and
if
that's
not
being
helpful
to
us
to
make
sure
that
we
also
take
a
break
and
we
use
that
the
technology
in
a
beneficial
way
and
recognize
many
areas
where
it's
draining
us
and
we
need
to
pause.
Yeah.
B
And
especially
now,
I
do
feel
like
even
personally
I'm
drained
more
quickly
than
I
ever
have
been
I'm
still
looking
at
you
know,
keeping
up
to
date,
like
I,
had
not
only
kiowa
our
family
in
North,
Carolina,
Florida
and
California
kind
of
like
how
much
do
I
want
to
you
know,
keep
track
of
everything
for
versus
this
year,
focus
on
what
I
need
to
focus.
Yep.
C
Focusing
on
what
we
can
control
focusing
on
areas
that
we
have
in
patan
ability
to
impact
that
we're
making
a
difference
by
physically
distancing
ourselves
that
we
can
wear
masks
that
we
can
wash
our
hands.
We
can
reach
out
digitally
people,
so
you're,
very
right
that
we
sometimes
have
to
acknowledge
where
we
can't
have
an
impact
and,
what's
outside,
of
our
control
and
put
our
energy
into
things
that
we
can
do,
and
we
can
have
an
impact
on
to
give
us
an
area
that
we
can
make
an
impact.
Mm-Hmm.
B
C
Yes,
we've
all
take
we've
all
taken
on
a
lot
of
new
things,
whether
it's
you
know
trained
to
juggle.
You
know,
working
from
home
and
having
kids
at
home
and
doing
schoolwork-
and
you
know
kind
of
you
know
not
having
these
many
opportunities
to
get
out
and
do
things
that
we
are
used
to
doing
and
having
to
find
new
ways
to
interact,
or
you
know,
hang
out
as
a
family
and
incorporating
new
routines
mm-hmm.
B
C
It's
a
great
question
so
here
at
the
mental
health
center,
we
are
very
much
still
here.
We
recognize
that
and
absolutely
want
to
continue
to
provide
services
to
our
community
because
there
are,
there
are
concerns
and
struggles,
and-
and
this
is
a
challenging
time-
and
even
outside
of
that,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
still
there
for
anybody,
that's
having
any
kind
of
concerns
regarding
their
mental
health,
and
so
the
vast
majority
of
our
services
have
gone
either
telehealth
or
telephonic
and
in
being
able
to
reach
since
then
an
individual
struggling
that
way.
C
C
C
For
all
patients
and
any
visitors
coming
in,
but
absolutely
if
we
you
know
if
we've
realized
that
we
can't
get
you
on
the
phone,
we
can't
you
know
we
don't
have
an
internet
connection.
We
don't
have
a
phone,
we'll
definitely
work
with
people
to
see
about
how
we
can
make
those
appointments
still
continue
and.
B
C
B
B
And
that's
good
to
know
that,
like
y'all
are
still
there
during
this
time.
Yeah
do
you
have
any
late
tips?
I
hate
use
more
tips,
but
you
have
ideas
of
how
especially
student
base
to
help.
You
know
see
I,
guess
things
to
keep
in
mind
when
you're
helping
you
know
if
you're,
a
parent
and
you're
helping
your
student
kind
of
make
this
transition.
B
C
B
And
I
do
so
we
kind
of
a
personal
library,
plug
website
called
wpl
at
home,
and
we
have
a
team
page
and
a
mental
health
page
as
well,
where
we
just
kind
of
put
some
stuff
that
we've
received.
But
there
is
silastic
put
out
a
magazine,
that's
available
to
everybody
which
details
ways
to
positively
talk
to
your
child,
except
in
19.
Yes,
and
it's
queued
towards
younger
kids
and
a
Scholastic.
But
it's
it
was
a
really
great
resource,
honest.
C
B
C
B
C
Awesome
yeah
and
your
resource
a
great
thing
to
check
out
when
you're,
not
quite
sure
the
words
to
use
or
the
language
to
say,
to
explain
this
to
kids
are
adolescents
to
look
at
those
resources
because
there
are
ample
you
Scholastic,
Azzam
child
mind.
Institute
has
a
Nami
National
Alliance
on
Mental
Illness,
we'll
have
it.
Cdc
has,
and
so
I
think
that
we've
got
a
great
gamut
of
resources
to
pull
from
the
Tcat
information
and
have
those
discussions
and
those
conversations
tailored
to
those
ages.
Yeah.
C
B
C
Yeah
anything
we
have
to
you
know,
I,
think
it's
important
to
when
we
acknowledge
our
feelings
and
saying
you
know
acknowledging
like
I'm
likely
to
feel
frustrated
during
this
and
I'm
likely
to
feel
stressed
out
or
worried
or
overwhelmed
at
times,
and
that's
okay
and
littling.
Those
feelings
recognizing
them
for
what
they
are
and
accepting
them
can
help
us
to
work
through
them.
Whether
it's
we're
helping
a
kid
or
an
adolescent
label.
C
How
they're
feeling,
when
we're
recognizing
some
frustration
or
some
some
irritability
or
you
know
some
worries
and
even
checking
in
with
ourselves
as
adults
to
to
really
reflect
on
where
we
are
and
what
we
need
to
be
able
to
help
us
go
forward.
And
when
we
identify
what
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
those
people
that
can
help
us.
You
know
tell
us
whether
it's
you
know
stepping
outside
and
sitting
in
the
Sun.
B
C
B
C
B
B
C
B
C
B
C
Say
if
you
or
anyone
in
your
family
or
having
any
kind
of
struggles,
absolutely
don't
hesitate
to
call
us
here
at
the
mental
health
center
food
new
to
us
will
get
you
connected
with
our
intake
department.
They'll
talk
you
through
how
to
access
that
first
appointment.
If
it's
for
a
child
or
an
adolescent,
they'll
talk
you
through
your
options
about
who
our
providers
are,
that
provide
care
to
kids
and
adolescents
and
how
to
get
connected
with
that
person.
