I’ve heard about the upcoming Zoom support sessions, including sessions for the Asian American/Pacific Islander community. When will they take place?

For some, the tragic events in Boulder and Atlanta may open some old wounds or difficult memories. The CU Department of Psychiatry encourages you to reach out for help or just to talk. The department is offering hour-long Zoom support sessions to CU Anschutz faculty, staff and students. Click the session you wish to attend below to register. Some sessions are open to the Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) community only, so they may have a space to process the shooting in Atlanta.
