Dear FAS Faculty,

With deep gratitude for your extraordinary efforts this semester, which have enabled our students to continue learning in this incredibly disruptive time, I write to remind you of Yale resources that are available to support your own well-being.

Scholars as Leaders; Scholars as Learners  programs have been developed or expanded to respond to the challenges of the current climate, including:   

  • Coaching for Success: 1-on-1 coaching to support eligible faculty in achieving research and teaching-related goals, including support navigating times of disruption 
  • Virtual Writing Retreats:  regular online convenings of eligible faculty dedicated to cultivating community and creating sustainable writing and research practices
  • Additional group coaching opportunities and workshops will be announced shortly. Please reach out to Alexandra Apolloni at sal2.fas@yale.edu with suggestions for further workshops or programs that would help to sustain and support your work.

Well-being resources available through Yale’s Worklife program include: 

Thank you again for all that you do for the FAS. 

Be safe, be well, 

Tamar
