Dear colleagues, students, and staff,

The Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing at U of T strongly condemns anti-Asian racism, discrimination, and its contributions to the increasing violence and hate towards Asian communities like those in Atlanta, Georgia.

The U of T Nursing community stands in solidarity with the Asian community as we strive to work to address systemic racism in all its forms.

For students seeking support, U of T has counselling services available at any hour of the day via the [U of T MySSP](https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstudentlife.utoronto.ca%2Fservice%2Fmyssp%2F&data=04%7C01%7Clinda.johnston%40utoronto.ca%7C6d8fd066f6d84fd6d44608d8ea40771e%7C78aac2262f034b4d9037b46d56c55210%7C0%7C0%7C637516909875341977%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=m5TQCpfdLRITBXwZad8gPKKT0FFK9EndWfNdrbIwmDc%3D&reserved=0).
