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 means taking responsibility for yourself to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle at work and in your personal world through individually determined, proactive activities. You are at your best when you attend to yourself in equal measure to others in day-to-day living!

Self-care on Mother's Day

May 8, 2023

This week we celebrate Mother’s Day and the honor the loving-kindness associated with mothering, no matter who may be the source of this for each of us. Hopefully, there is at least one person in each person’s life that “mothers” them, showering love and acceptance, in whose presence one can feel one’s unique potential. Extended family life allows for this but so do neighbors, teachers, friends, mentors, and so many others in nontraditional roles. Every person needs an ongoing bath of love to flourish. And so we can honor this gift from the mother figures in our lives by encouraging these special people to take care of themselves just as they have been taking care of others. Read more
