Hazing Prevention Resources

The PGCC Wellness and Mental Health Center is committed to promoting a safe and supportive campus environment for all students. Hazing can have severe emotional and physical impacts, and it’s important to recognize the signs and know how to respond. To help raise awareness and prevent hazing, we’ve added two valuable resources:

Stop Hazing: Prevention Research and Resources provides additional support, guidance, and resources for prevention efforts.
Hazing Prevention: What You Need To Know and What You Can Do shows how to take a stand against hazing.
