Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Counseling and Psychological Services stands in solidarity with and extends support for all BIPOC and minoritized individuals and communities. We understand that on-going acts of hate in the context of the global pandemic, political conflict, and continued acts of racial violence against African American, Indigenous, and BIPOC individuals and communities are impacting the mental health and well-being of our CLU community. We recognize that exposure to violence can be traumatizing and bring many emotions; threatening and violent acts are disturbing, even when we are not directly involved. Please contact us if you are in need of services, or review our webpage for resources for ways to care for yourself.
