Giving Tuesday is December 3rd, but our Giving Tuesday season begins now! This season, ASAS D.C. will focus on improving students’ well-being.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had lasting effects on students’ mental health, so we need to prioritize our students’ emotional well-being in the aftermath of the pandemic. Today, more than ever it is critical that we address the deep trauma affecting students and their communities. To create a better future for themselves, our students need resources that help them develop to be well-rounded people. This includes more than just academic success- the ability to be successful, well-balanced, resilient, and resourceful. We need to bring mental wellness support to our programming in the form of workshops led by experts, group work where students find a safe space to express themselves, and trained staff to recognize and address mental health crisis.
Please consider making your gift today to support our students’ well-being. Every little bit helps and will provide much needed resources for this important work! Visit https:/www.givelocaltogether.org/o/asas for more information. Stay tuned for more #GivingTuesday updates!
