Tips for Coping With COVID-19
Many of us have had to make big changes to our everyday lives in the face of uncertainty and hardship related to COVID-19. It鈥檚 important that we show ourselves compassion as life continues to evolve. Here are听some ideas to help you cope听and practice resiliency during COVID-19.
Counseling Services
Many of our fellow Buffs are feeling anxious right now. Some students are worried about finishing classes remotely and adjusting to online learning. Others are feeling concerned for loved ones as we try to slow the spread of COVID-19. If you need counseling support can make an appointment for a virtual walk-in session with Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) by calling 303-492-2277 or visiting Counseling Services.
Group Therapy Sessions
Process therapy groups are another opportunity for students to connect with other students to discuss topics like anxiety, depression, family dynamics, interpersonal concerns, and more. It can be a useful space to receive support for concerns going on in your life and to grow personally in your ability to connect deeply with others. If you鈥檙e interested, schedule a Telescreen appointment through the CAPS website. From there, you will meet with a therapist who can help you decide which group will be the best fit for you.
If you are interested in joining a process therapy group, please email Leeds embedded Therapist Megan Shih.
听Student Emergency Fund
We understand that the need to move to remote learning has created new time-sensitive needs and hardship for some students. Some students are wondering whether they can pay rent, buy food or afford to continue their education in light of the extensive impacts of the pandemic. This fund helps students in need pay bills due to lost wages, secure technology for remote learning, and gain access to food and health care. Learn more and apply here.
听Self-Care On a Budget
Self-care involves intentionally taking care of your own mental, physical, and emotional health, and now more than ever, self-care is extremely important. Self-care activities can vary from treating yourself to a fancy coffee to getting enough rest. Here are some ways you can practice self-care that won鈥檛 cost a dime. Learn more.
