All of us are deeply concerned about the wildfires burning in Southern California and want to extend our support and sympathy to members of the UCSC community who are personally impacted by the wildfires. Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) is reaching out to extend our services to those who have been impacted by the events of the past week.
