National Women's History Month highlights the achievements and contributions of women throughout history, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their impact on society. As we celebrate this month, it’s equally important for campus and health employees to prioritize safety by staying aware of their surroundings, using available safety resources, and following proper protocols. By fostering a culture of support and vigilance, we can ensure a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone.
We often share and/or exhibit experiences of stress and anxiety, particularly during uncertain times or after significant events—whether political, social, or economic in nature.
