CUAV's response to police violence + anti-black racism: As a team of Black and Latinx queer and trans people, we know that "black & brown unity" isn't just a cute trend. This is a lifetime commitment that we humbly admit has not been an easy road. Yet, this is a loud call from the ancestors to build real solidarity to end anti-black racism. Collective liberation means the end of interpersonal and state violence while offering an opportunity to heal and dream with our people ... Read more

Restoring lives...one woman at a time.

WRA's individualized and integrated clinical services are designed to address the complexity of women's needs. The clinical program is the core of every treatment plan for women in the residential, perinatal residential, outpatient, and continuing care program.

Our comprehensive programming includes individual and family counseling, group therapy, and educational groups that focus on women's recovery from substance use disorder and related addictive behaviors, such as eating disorders and nicotine dependence. In addition, WRA provides specialized services that address:

Co-occurring mental health disorders

Recovery from trauma and abuse

Emotion management and relapse prevention

Health and wellness

Relationships and building community

Increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy

Issues specific to young women, ages 18-24

WRA began in 1964 as a support group for alcoholic women started by Sister Anna Marie Towers. The organization was incorporated in 1970 and opened its first residential treatment program in 1973, in San Mateo. Women's Recovery Association joined the HealthRIGHT 360 family of programs in 2014.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first got there. After meeting the staff and getting to know the other women, I found another family there. I learned a lot about me and my addiction and with the support of staff and going to meetings, I have been given my life back. My family appreciates the program as well.

Introduction

Your body is an extraordinary machine. It changes over time, interacts with the world, adapts to different environments, can usually fix itself when broken or wounded (sometimes with some help) and build other machines. But, like other machines, it needs proper fuel (nutrition), rest (sleep) and maintenance (exercise) to function properly. Without attention to these basic needs, the machine can become less efficient and can even break - you can get sick. As you get older, approach the end of high school and start looking forward to living a more independent life, it's important to understand how to take care of yourself to maintain your health.

Food and nutrition

How long could you survive without food or water? Actually, you cannot survive more than a few days without food or any water. But having the right fluids and food is not just a matter of survival. Our bodies are so complex that we need a wide variety of fluids and different types of materials to keep us healthy. We burn carbohydrates as fuel, use protein to new cells and tissue (a constant process) and use fat to store energy. We need fluids to move materials about in our bodies (through our bloodstream) and electrolytes to allow our nerves and muscles to fire. And you thought you were just having lunch!!

But there is more - we also need the right balance of all these things - our brains are usually pretty good at telling us when we might be needing fluids or even at times particular kinds of foods - but things can get out of balance. Too much of certain kinds of foods or the wrong balance can also cause problems. Too much salt can lead some people to develop high blood pressure, too much sweet stuff (or fatty foods) can add to risk of diabetes, heart disease or obesity.

You can learn a lot more about finding your right food balance and nutrition here.

Sleep

Most machines need time for repair and cooling down from time to time. Your brain is probably the most complex part of our bodies - we are only just beginning to understand how it functions. But one thing we know for sure is that for thinking, memory, concentration and decision making to work properly, our brain and body needs to sleep.

No one exactly knows how sleep happens but we know that during sleep we are taking in less information from the outside world and organizing information in our brains. And we can't go for long without sleep before our functioning suffers dramatically. Have you ever stayed up for a full 24 hours? How did you feel? People who are sleep deprived typically have trouble doing even fairly simple things they can usually handle - like writing or driving.

Young people typically need at least 8 hours of sleep a night to feel and function well - and many actually need more than 8 hours. A bit of good news is that if you miss out on enough sleep one night, you can usually make up your sleep deficit by getting a good night's sleep the next.

Read here for a few simple habits that promote good sleep.

Exercise

Just as your body needs rest to repair itself, your body also needs to be used regularly to work most efficiently - and the way we use our bodies is by moving. When you think about it, exercise is just moving in an organized (and sometimes repetitive) way. But working our bodies in this way helps just about every part of our bodies. Of course exercising works our muscles, but also our hearts and lungs when we do it over some time (this is commonly called "cardio" or aerobic conditioning). Many exercises also strengthen our bones and there is even evidence that exercise makes our brains work more efficiently too!

You don't have to belong to a gym or run a marathon to get helpful exercise. It is just fine if you get exercise in the normal course of events - walking to school, playing ball, mowing the lawn, taking a hike, doing dishes or laundry are all exercise. The goal is simply to work as many different parts of your body on a regular basis and to keep moving for 20-30 minutes several times each week. You don't need to overdo it - and it is actually possible to exercise too much (among other things you can injure yourself, get overheated, dehydrated, and damage muscles for over exercising). But it is important and healthy to keep your body moving!

We realize our community has experinced a lot of hurt, anger, and sadness from the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Sean Reed, and Nina Pop, murders that add to an unending list of Black lives lost to racism and systemic oppression. We also realize that this is Pride month, which would not exist without the Stonewall Riots, a movement led by Black, trans women who protested against police brutality. Finally, we want to be transparent about the limitations some of us have to fully understand the everyday lived-in traumatic experiences of assaults and aggressions that Black and LGBTQ+ people of color face - from law enforcement and colonized social systems that have added layer upon layer of inequity, prejudice, and oppression that literally enacts violence upon them. This is not about our pain, but about our duty to respond.

This is a time that many of us, particularly white people, have to take responsibility for demanding and creating the change that is needed to dismantle the oppressive systems that have historically, intergenerationally, and currently traumatize our Black friends and colleagues and Black people we do not know personally. This isn't the time to create more harm by what we believe to be good intentions or to question the anger and sadness that is erupting across the country. It's not a time for platitudes or directives like "We need to listen to each other." Yes, of course, listening to each other is important. We practiced that together in our own Safe Zone Ally training. This IS a time to learn, educate ourselves, understand our role in supporting the structures that continually traumatize Black people, and to ACT. We can ACT in many ways:

ACT by FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING OR JOINING organizations that seek to end the racist criminal justice and corrupt prosecutorial systems in our country

ACT BY JOINING OR LOBBYING WITH entities that fight against the prison industrial complex that literally cuts shorts the lives and families of our Black and Brown brothers and sisters

ACT BY EDUCATING OURSELVES AND LEARNING strategies that end the health, educational, and economic inequities faced daily by Black Americans.

ACT BY JOINING EFFORTS TO STOP voting disenfranchisement that continues daily and primarily is focused on limiting access to people of color to have an equal voice in democracy

ACT BY VOTING, AND ENCOURAGING THOSE WE KNOW TO VOTE, to remove national, and any state or local, political leadership that is overtly racist and seeks to divide us daily, to "other" each other, and to maintain our internalized racism

Finally, this is a time for us to RESIST falling back into complacency. As part of the coordinating committee for our SF State Safe Zone Ally program, we are taking time this summer, as we always do, to develop our priorities for the next academic year (AY). We recently met to determine our first priority and main focus for AY 2020-2021, which will be Queer Allyship and Racial Justice. Our focus will be on how we can ACT and prioritize our allyship and ally program to focus on support for systemic change regarding racial and ethnic inequity, as well as violence and trauma that affects our SF State community. This will include more intentional partnerships and trainings that:

Create safe spaces and integrated support for Black students, staff, and faculty

Work to dismantle white privilege

Educate the campus community on combating implicit bias

Advocate and facilitate action by the University Police Department and campus administration

We welcome any and all suggestions and input around this initiative, as well as any support and action you would like to take with us this coming year.
Please follow us on our new Instagram account: sfsusafezone. We hope to post regularly about our Safe Zone Ally program and important campus and community events that demand we bring our voices - and action - to the conversation. Here are several resources, as well, that we want to pass along to you:

Oakland LGBT Resource Center

Compton's Transgender Cultural District

With a commitment to understanding that this is the beginning of a journey for redefining our society to one that provides safety, equity, and fairness to all,

Greek life has been part of San Francisco State University's history since 1928 with the installation of the Epsilon Chapter of Delta Phi Upsilon at San Francisco State Teachers' College (Franciscan, 1928). Currently, 49 Greek organizations are formally recognized at SF State under the umbrella of the United Greek Council.

Greek organizations serve to enhance the college experience at SF State. Greek life provides a supportive community in which students can explore, grow, and learn new leadership skills, academic discipline, event planning, financial proficiency, professional aptitude and social networking skills. Greek life provides a national and/or local network of sisters, brothers and alumnus who are committed to supporting development, growth, and the achievement of life goals. Each individual student brings with them their own set of skills and abilities. Joining an organization helps to further develop individual strengths, while at the same time introducing new opportunities that will help to stretch beyond perceived capabilities.

Our fraternity and sorority life break into various councils based upon values, principles, culture, service, social, and much more!
