I too have personally suffered and endured the harsh effects of COVID-19 for over a two week period. Being at home with my wife and our 4 month old daughter, she had to shoulder a lot of the childcare responsibilities until I felt better. Now that her employment has transitioned to digital, and my school load hitting the end of semester workload, we're both trying to juggle childcare and professional responsibilities and I feel like I'm drowning. We aren't asking for a complete free pass on all academic coursework of the semester - just a diminished field work quota.
Thank you

I believe that you should extend the same courtesies to all the students who are currently losing hours due to this crisis. Most people attending Touro attend because of their flexibility. Imagine having to spend another year of life and having to finance that too. The time flexibility should be extended to all current students.

Being home with 3 children, ages 10 months-6 years old is a handful, plus now we're nearing the end and finals are a big burden. To juggle hours on top of all of this is an enormous struggle.
Please advocate for us!
Much heartfelt thanks.

As someone who has personally suffered from the Coronavirus, I can tell you that this is an extremely difficult time to be thinking of completing field hours. In addition to the physical discomfort, the amount of anxiety I have been experiencing- and I am sure many others have- has made it acutely difficult to even keep up with my school work. I understand the school has made it a priority to have the advanced year students graduate on time, but in reality, we are all in the same boat. Making us do alternate assignments to complete our hours (which surprisingly have not been explained to us six weeks into this virus), would only add stress to an already extremely difficult situation which we are struggling to cope with. I hope that the people who can make a difference in this matter, hear what we are saying, and put forth their efforts to help our cause.

I'm signing this petition to show my support regarding because I too feel it's unfair we're still responsible to complete 600 Internship hours. I can only speak for myself in saying i'm under an enormous amount of stress and pressure from being a student, wife, mother of twins toddlers. My academic responsibilities have not been lessened, I'm still required to complete every assignment from the syllabus when my other responsibities are 24 hr.s a day. In addition I'm more anxious because i'm constantly worried about myself and family and hope we don't get infected with covid. I seen friends, and loved ones die of this and it's a constant concern and still regardless of everything school hasn't let up.. There's so much more I want to say but will end it here.

These are very stressful times, and to think about hours right now. Is practically impossible.
Please reduce
Thank you

People especially on the field of Social Work should be considered, logical, empathetic to self and others considering situations like this one. Simply be a Human's.
