| Dear CIRES Community, Covid-19 has altered many aspects of our personal and professional lives. Even when we continue to make significant contributions at work, telecommuting without a definite date for returning to the office may result in feelings of isolation, anxiety, or even depression. These feelings could arise from our limited social interactions, juggling additional responsibilities at home, or could originate from our current overall uncertainty. This is a time when finding support in our CIRES community is important. The CIRES HR team wants you to know we value your work and your well-being. CIRES HR would like to encourage you to make use of the resources offered by the University and to remind you we are here to offer support as well.
