Instructions: How instructors may use this slide deck

In the aftermath of the fires that have devastated many communities in Los Angeles and ahead of the January 20th inauguration, your students may be struggling with feelings of fear, anxiety, and distress. We encourage you to share the following resources with your students and encourage them to use the resources as needed. By highlighting these services, you are supporting students in taking care of themselves and reinforcing that all students deserve access to the support they need during their educational journey at UCLA.

To introduce the resources, you might consider saying:

We are living in unprecedented times, and some of you might need support as you navigate the local, national, and world events unfolding, including the Los Angeles County fires and the inauguration. Getting support is a sign of strength, not weakness, as it means that you’re committing to taking care of yourself so you can thrive as students, community members, and human beings. I am sharing a list of campus resources available to you as a UCLA student. These services were thoughtfully designed with your needs in mind, and I strongly encourage you to use them as needed. I also invite you to set aside a few minutes of intentional time—whether later today, tonight, or tomorrow morning—to reflect on the types of resources you need to succeed. And, I want to be clear — I want each of you to succeed, so I encourage you to take care of yourself.
