After witnessing the murder of too many Black Lives, and observing the way our country is struggling to respond to the realities of current/historic police brutality and systemic racism, it can be hard to manage the many layers of emotion. Rage. Grief. Helplessness. Hopelessness. Numbness. Pain. And other feelings. This moment has been repeated over and over and over again and it can be overwhelming. If you are experiencing any of these, you are not alone.
We at CAPS are here for you. To talk, to vent, to hold a safe space for whatever you need to experience right now. We support and encourage a campus dialogue about social justice, race, oppression, and how the IC Community can support each and every member at the present time.
If you, as an IC student, need or want to talk to a counselor about what you are feeling and experiencing, please reach out to us at 607-274-3136.
Please stay safe.
With Love and Support,
The Staff at the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services
