Proud to share the great work of these community partners! Your passion is evident in the students you serve!

Be Well Victoria is so proud to support BWV Coalition Member, Chanel Hicks, and UHV Counseling Center in placing this memorial on UHV’s campus. Each of these 1,100 flags represents college aged students that die by su***de every year. UHV wants to raise awareness and let students know they are not alone. Next week will be End The Stigma week on campus. Stay tuned as BWV will post the events.

Victoria College designated Mother-Friendly Worksite
Mother Friendly
Victoria College was recently designated a Mother-Friendly Worksite by the Texas State Department of Health Services.

“It is a great achievement to reach the Mother Friendly guidelines,” said Texas AHEC East-Victoria Region Program Coordinator Paula Crawford, who worked with VC Human Resources Executive Director Terri Kurtz for about a year to ensure VC complies with the guidelines. “We should all be helping and supporting breastfeeding mothers.”

According to TexasMotherFriendly.org, breastfeeding employees miss work less often and breast-fed infants are healthier, which results in lower healthcare costs.

Victoria College has complied with the provisions of Chapter 165 of the Texas Health and Safety Code to receive the designation.

Mother-Friendly Worksites must provide:

· work schedule flexibility to allow adequate time for the expression of breastmilk;

· access to a clean, safe water source and a sink to wash hands and clean pumping equipment; and

· access to hygienic options for storage or expressed breastmilk.

There are currently 2,464 Mother-Friendly Worksites in Texas, including seven in Victoria.
