SUN Program

Welcome to our College of Education Self-care Initiative, informally called Self-care for U at Northridge, the SUN Program.

It is so wonderful that you are considering self-care as an important way to care for yourself and keep balance and health in your life.

Self-care includes a commitment to the wellbeing of all of us, including our transgender community, to live free from violence, fear, and discrimination. We continue to witness attacks on our transgender community. Last week our college Equity and Faculty Affairs Committee sponsored a Social Justice Dialogue with Dr. Julie Vitale, Superintendent of Oceanside School District, who presented the challenges that LGBTQ K-12 students face, with a very moving video about a transgender student.
