Reminder of Resources

[Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension Weekly Bulletin]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the ALVSCE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council, and in partnership with resource providers across campus, we want to express our support and care for all students, staff, and faculty as we are witnessing the Israel-Hamas war.  We strive to be a safe learning community for everyone.  Discrimination is against UA policy<https://policy.arizona.edu/human-resources/nondiscrimination-and-anti-harassment-policy>, violates our community values, and must be called out.  We can each make a difference to create the community we want to work and learn in.  Following are campus resources available to you.

Mental Health Resources

  *   Students: Counseling & Psych Services<https://caps.arizona.edu/> (CAPS), CALES Life Management Services<https://cales.arizona.edu/life-management-services>
