The Counseling staff at Marist wishes to express our deep sadness, anger, and compassion to black communities across our campus and the nation who have been impacted by the recent race-based violence and resulting tragedies. These tragedies reflect a legacy of institutionalized racism and social injustice that we unequivocally condemn and are committed to redressing. We are keenly aware that these are especially traumatic for black communities while also recognizing that intolerance, hatred, as well as systemic and structural racism, impact us all for the worse. As mental health professionals representing the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, the National Association of Social Workers, and the American Psychiatric Association, we firmly align with social justice and anti-racism work as integral to mental health work and healing. We stand in solidarity with black communities and communities of color across our campus, this country, and the world.

Counseling Services office is open to provide counseling support and resources to any who may need it. We aim to create safe spaces for students of color who face disproportionate stress and trauma resulting from systemic and structural racism. We are also here to connect students to additional support resources if preferred. Please refer to our linktr.ee for resources on coping with racial trauma and anti-racist tools.

With love, commitment and solidarity,
