February 2026
February 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the federal recognition for Black Americans. 100 years of progress. 100 years of persistence. And it is not enough. This month is a time to recognize the historical contributions of Black individuals and communities, and to acknowledge the realities that continue to shape the experience of Black people today. We invite you to watch one of our previous webinars to better understand the history of Buffalo, NY. Click here to watch now: The Shape of our City: How Environmental Racism Impacts Everyone.
For so many people, this moment in time feels heavy. The strain of the current events may show up as feelings of discomfort, questioning reality and even a sense of disconnection. Mental health does not exist in isolation. Social context matters. History matters. And so does having space to process what we are carrying, without judgment.
At C+FS EAP we are here to support how you are coping and how you continue to show up for your work, your community, and yourself. It may involve talking through stresses, processing experiences, navigating difficult workplace conversations, or simply having a confidential space to pause and reset.
As we move through February, we encourage community and empathy. If you are feeling impacted, support is available. Reaching out can be a protective action. We are here for you.
