Each year students are forced to struggle with the illness or loss of a loved one, but they don't need to cope alone. I want to hear from you.

The illness or loss of a loved one can be a hard thing to bear. It may often feel like a time of loneliness and despair, but this doesn't have to be faced alone. Coming from an experience of loss myself, I want to assess the need for resources for students facing issues of loss.

In the future, we hope to create an online program called CARE (Cancer Awareness, Resource, and Empowerment). Though originally designed for students coping with cancer in their lives, it has evolved to include all students dealing with illness or death in their lives.

With generous support from Politics Professor Peyi Soyinka-Airewele and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), I have come up with a quick survey to gauge the student body's need for a resource program. If you're wiling, please complete the short survey below. It should only take a few minutes of your time.
