| Description | Belonging and Healing in Uncertain Times: A Community Care Space In light of current events—locally and globally—that may be causing stress, fear, grief, or a sense of unsafety for members of our community, the UW School of Nursing DEIB Office is offering a recurring virtual space to pause, ground, and be together. These community care gatherings will be held every other Friday, beginning Friday, January 23, from 10:00–11:00 AM, via Zoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/92378211906 This space is not intended to provide solutions or require sharing. Rather, it is a supportive, trauma-informed space focused on presence, reflection, and care. Participants are welcome to join in whatever way feels safest—listening quietly, engaging in gentle grounding practices, or simply being in community. We will also share relevant campus and community resources for those who wish to access additional support. This space is open to all UW School of Nursing students, staff, and faculty. Cameras may be on or off, participation is always optional, and care for yourself comes first. If you would like to schedule a one-on-one conversation, raise a concern, or suggest an invitation to a class, unit, or community group, please contact Dr. Suha Ballout, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (sballout@uw.edu). Your wellbeing matters, and you are not alone. Come as you are. Presence is enough. |
