Welcome to our College of Education Self-care Initiative, informally called Self-care for U at Northridge, the SUN Program.

Self-care, relief, and generosity

November 9, 2020

Sun

This week marks the presidential decision and with it, a welcome sigh of relief in the possibility of healing as a nation. There is much work ahead, and it involves many choices in order to move in a positive direction.
