Dear Students,
The below message was sent to UW faculty in the post-election moment as resources to support everyone.
We, your CHID Community, thought that some of the links below might be supportive of your own process in these days.
Please know that we are here for you in every way. Connection and community are so important, please be kind to yourselves and to everyone in our community.
Warmest wishes,
CHID Staff, Faculty, and Instructors
