Our community is struggling. The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others due to police brutality have sent a shockwave through our system. The pain people of color experience in our communities, in our streets, and in our classrooms is more salient now than ever.
You may be working through any number of emotions — from grief to anxiety to outrage — and this may not be the first time you’ve felt what you’re feeling. As you process and act on these feelings, we hope you’ll take the time to practice self-care. Here’s a list of resources that can help support you mentally and physically during this time:
- Self-care tips for Black people who are struggling with this very painful week
- Emotionally restorative self-care for people of color
- 101 ways to take care of yourself when the world feels overwhelming
- How you can take action from home after the death of George Floyd
- The Steve Fund, an organization focused on supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people of color
