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 and connecting

One bright spot in the darkened times of the past few years has been a heightened sense of the importance of interconnectedness. Sometimes this can be interconnectedness within our community that has happened as a result of our coming together across campus and communities to share healing practices. The Campus Care Recovery website is an example of this. Faculty and staff from many different areas of campus worked collaboratively to create one central location with CSUN healing and wellness activities and resources. This website will also be sending regular newsletters to those who opt in with resource and activity updates, wonderful presentations, and results from wellness research happening right here on our campus. Currently the website is featuring "hope and resilience."  If you would like to learn more, please go to https://www.csun.edu/revitalize and https://www.csun.edu/revitalize/hope-resilience Read more
