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 could not be more important during this time of unease. The most important thing is that all of you, as well as your students and clients, remain safe and take good care of yourselves. As we continue with the uncertainty of our health and the health of our loved ones, and the ever changing landscape and timeline of this surreal pandemic, this ongoing stress can take a physical and psychological toll on us. I am calling this viral battle fatigue. Read more
