Stay Connected to the Community

A C+V Initiative
To honor individual and communal wellness through these times, C+V is excited to announce the launch of the Creatively Navigating Resource Hub, a C+V initiative designed to share and uplift opportunities for the DU community for mindfully, creatively, bravely, and compassionately navigating these challenging times together, as a community.
The C+V team is looking to the future with hope. We recognize that the world is facing a significant number of challenges, but as we all continue to manage the circumstances of this time, we are encouraged by the community we see – one that is diligently concerned with supporting one another and committed to reflection, analysis, and action.
As global community members engaging with the world and our role(s) in it, we can become emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically overwhelmed. This initiative will serve as a resource hub for DU that will highlight ways to engage and build community while focusing on our wellness as we continue to traverse these changing times. This information will be constantly evolving and updated over time. If you are interested in sharing an opportunity, or if you have any questions, please email CommunityPlusValues@hnrgrl.com.
Creative Expression
Throughout this past year, it has at times felt like creative expression was lost to the virtual, quarantined world -- however, we know it is not. We know it is critical to sharing in community with others as we make it through. This page includes resources to provide community members with opportunities to move, learn, reflect, create, and more in community together in unique ways.

SJE & DU DialogUes Present: Having Difficult Conversations
What a task it is to provide resources on having difficult conversations. We talk to people all the time, but do we actually have conversations? This page discusses how to share, create, and connect. Sharing thoughts, opinions, beliefs, fears, or optimistic views helps create new perspectives and ideas, and ideally, more understanding. We believe this, in turn, sets the stage for deeper levels of connection and growth for individuals and groups alike.

Combatting Zoom Fatigue
This page provides resources that are focused on how you can combat Zoom fatigue and find different ways to virtually connect. The C+V Team recognizes that Zoom is an incredibly useful tool but that Zoom fatigue is real.

Compassion Fatigue & Mindfulness: A Community One-Pager Resource
Our community has endured a lot over the past year, and we found ourselves juggling multiple roles at once with a never-ending list of tasks, all while trying to maintain some balance in our life. It is more important than ever to prioritize our mental health and practice self-care. In partnership with IEE, C+V wants to offer a resource guide to help our community cope with the overwhelming sense of fatigue and adopt mindfulness practices. Please share this PDF with your communities as a resource and tool!
