ÀÖ²©´«Ã½

We know that many people will be emotionally impacted so we are providing the following links to resources that may be of help in working with students and clients.  

ÀÖ²©´«Ã½extends its sympathy to the families and friends of those who died, and we call on local, state, and federal governments to denounce racist and homophobic actions. There is simply no place in our society for this type of behavior.

The ÀÖ²©´«Ã½ values an inclusive society where people are accepted regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, physical ability, religion, age, or sexual identity. Any discrimination is harmful to the well-being of the individual and our society. 

We encourage all professional counselors to be resources to their communities. Our hearts go out to the Charlottesville community, and we stand in solidarity.
