Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
|
September 15th is the day several Latin American countries declared their independence from Spain. Starting that day and for the following month, we recognize and pay respect to our Hispanic friends, family, peers, and ancestry, for their history and culture.

Q: How do I know when I need help?
A: You don’t have to wait until some predetermined severity level to ask for help. Ask for help now, or even before you’re to the point of struggling. Build “help” or my definition–community members caring for each other–into your life.
Q: How do you help your patients with anxiety?/ How do I deal with Anxiety?
A: That depends on what is causing your anxiety. I believe anxiety, an emotion that comes and goes that is often coupled with physical sensations, is a symptom of a bigger problem, not the problem itself. For example, if conflict with a housemate is making the whole house feel tense, we figure out the best way to talk to that friend and resolve the conflict.

Self Care Fair
|
Last week, we hosted the first CDI Self Care Fair. Thank you to all the participating organizations and offices: TruSisters, SAB, Stu Gov, Institutional Compliance, University Counseling Services, and Positive Peers. Students were able to come and destress by making DIY stress balls, slime and participate in a guided meditation by Stu Gov. Remember to take care of yourself!

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) mission is to empower Truman State University community by dismantling disparities which prohibit fair and inclusive access to our resources, services, and programs, simultaneously strengthening the interpersonal relationships with historically unrepresented and systematically minoritized students. CDI believes it is the responsibility of every individual to intentionally contribute attitudes of open-mindedness that helps foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and belonging. Through academically, socially, and culturally responsive programming, CDI will continue to encourage students, administrators, faculty, and staff at Truman State University to engage in meaningful, transformative experiences while celebrating personal uniqueness and communal solidarity.
