Grief and Loss

In this time of the Covid-19 global pandemic, we are coping with the loss of the world as we knew it, and possibly the passing of loved ones. The links here may offer some helpful coping strategies.

COVID-19
It is important to acknowledge that while masking and quarantine guidelines have changed, this pandemic has still significantly impacted most students. Some of you may still be experiencing long term effects, such as loss of family members or friends, struggling with long COVID symptoms, or dealing with the impact of remote school on academic and social functioning.
If you have current symptoms, please test and call the Student Health Center at (845) 257-3400. If you are looking for resources for emotional and psychological coping/understanding the impacts, please see links below.
