Support for Those Impacted by the Ongoing Violence in Israel and Gaza

The recent terrorist attack and ongoing violence in Israel and Gaza and the resulting catastrophic loss of life have affected us all in different ways. You may experience a range of feelings including grief, uncertainty, fear, shock, frustration, disillusionment, and worry. These feelings may be overwhelming and may deepen of the wounds of existing traumas.  

During this time, we encourage you to be gentle with yourself and kind to one another and to seek support and care as needed. As a reminder, Counseling Services offers one-off individual support sessions that allow space for reflection, grounding, and discussion. Visit the Student Health Portal or call 212-305-3400 to schedule an individual support session.  

The following confidential options are always available for individual support:
