Dear College of Education Staff and Faculty,

Happy Halloween! Please join us for our annual Halloween party this Wednesday, Oct. 30^th, from 12-2 I ED 1214/1216. The theme is “come as your favorite TV character!” I look forward to seeing you there!

Once again this week, our CSUN community is being affected by multiple wildfires. I hope everyone is staying safe during this stressful time in our area. Our thoughts are with those who were especially affected. Please see important handouts to support faculty, staff, students, and community families and children below and review the resources from CSUN Office of Human Resources through the Employee Assistance Program to support faculty and staff who have been impacted by wildfires.

• Resources to Assist States/Territories Recovering from Natural Disasters(caring for us as caregivers)
• Helping Children After a Wildfire: Tips for Parents and Teachers
• Wildfire Resources at CSUN/CSUN Employee Assistance Program - LifeMatters
  In light of current events, CSUN faculty and staff and their family/household members are reminded that they have access to our Employee Assistance Program – LifeMatters.  Employees can call LifeMatters at 1-800-367-7474 or visit www.mylifematters.com
