A Message from Bard Wellness

It is more important than ever for us to ground ourselves firmly in our bodies and let our truth guide our actions. We can do this effectively when we increase our awareness, utilize our internal and external resources well, lean on each other for support, and take the time to slow down to look within. Let's put our well being at the forefront of our minds by integrating self-care into our daily activities. There is much pain, grief, and trauma we are holding in our hearts. We invite you to take the time you need to honor your experience and heal from these wounds.

If you are interested in having more tools to explore and defeat prejudice in society and in yourself, we encourage you to delve into the following resource from the Greater Good in Action.

To help you stay grounded and well, we invite you to take a few minutes to review the attached resources: SCOPE Safety Aid and a Trauma-Informed and Crisis Care Resource Guide, whose goal is to "help you process and move through whatever is coming up so that you can be the best leaders, strategists, family members, partners you can be in this radically transforming and painful time."

Please know that many college support services continue to be offered during this time. I am available remotely to help you make a self-care action plan via zoom. If you would like to channel your energy into fitness, we encourage you to contact our Community Fitness Coordinator at tstevenson@bard.edu or visit fitness.bard.edu for updates. If you need more support counselors are also available.

Peer Health and Wellness look forward to working together to create a healthier, equitable community for all in the fall of 2020 and beyond.

Yours in health,

Annia Reyes
Director of Health and Wellness Education
