Dear HLI family,

Pink Shirt Day is almost here!

1. Wear pink to show your support for the anti bullying movement on February 24th, Pink Shirt Day and send a photo of your fit to Basak Sahin to be part of HLI’s pink collage!
2. Join us for a Zoom call for conversations on February 24th.

As the general theme of life these days, we would like to discuss COVID-19 in the context of Pink Shirt day, mainly in the context of respect.

We will be discussing:

• History of pink shirt day and this year’s theme.
• The effect of COVID-19, mainly on mental health and the effect of kindness and respect during a pandemic.
• Mental health resources for staff, students, Postdocs & Grad Students and Residents.
• How to navigate in a workplace where people have different levels of comfort during a pandemic.
