What is ISP/AVC CARES?

ISP/AVC Cares Committee

The ISP/AVC Cares Committee provides additional support for AVC students who feel overwhelmed or may be thinking about suicide. The Interactive Screening Program (ISP) aims to reach students early before a crisis occurs through proactive, confidential outreach.

The committee works to create a supportive campus environment by sharing positive messages, hosting listening events, reducing stigma around mental health and suicide, and offering ongoing student support.

For questions or to connect with a committee member, contact Student Health Services at (661) 722-6300 x6683 or studenthealth@avc.edu

Take an Anonymous Stress & Depression Questionnaire

Student Health Services offers a brief, confidential, and completely anonymous online questionnaire at avc.caresforyou.org to help you understand whether stress, anxiety, or depression may be affecting you. This free tool does not impact your access to student health or counseling services.

How it works (3 simple steps):

1. Complete the 10-minute questionnaire using a User ID you create.

2. An AVC professional will post a private response with information and recommendations.

3. You choose what to do next—continue the conversation online, speak by phone, or take no further steps.

For questions, contact studenthealth@avc.edu

Sincerely,
ISP/AVC Cares
