Health and Wellness Day

Edgecombe Community College’s P.A.A.M.E.S program (Providing African American Males the Edge to Succeed) hosted a special event during Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. Beyond the Barber’s Chair: A Men’s Health and Wellness Day, was held June 25 on ECC’s Rocky Mount campus.

Attendees enjoyed music, inflatables, free haircuts, free resources and a men’s health walk. Participants also heard a message from Terry Ruffin, an instructor, peer specialist, substance abuse mentor, author and motivational speaker. Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month is observed every June.
