Any GW student facing difficult financial circumstances during these uncertain times can request financial support through the GW Cares Student Assistance Fund. GW's Student Association has also prepared a GW COVID-19 Guide which will be continually updated as more information is provided from administrators.
Headspace, the mindfulness app, is now available at no cost for benefits-eligible faculty and staff. You can sign up now using your @gwu.edu email for free and unlimited access on your computer or mobile device, such as a phone or tablet.
The Office of Advocacy & Support offers assistance to any member of our community who has been impacted by or experienced trauma, crime or violence, whether or not it happened while you were at GW. If you would like to connect to confidential support, please call 202-994-0443 or email oas@gwu.edu.

New Blog: Mobile Tech: An Answer to Gender-Based Violence?
New guest entry on GWI blog from Sarah Dickins and Naomi Mwaura! ‘Report It! Stop It!’ is a free app by the Flone Initiative for anyone who survives or sees violence to share their experiences in Kenya.
By allowing users to pin incidents on a geomap of public transport routes, providers and related spaces, the app visually tracks the hotspots of violence across Kenya so that individuals can make safer travel choices. Another objective of the app is to inform public policy-makers, think tanks and other civil society partners on GBV trends across Kenya, with a view to shape more effective laws, policies and interventions nationwide.
