The recent shootings in Atlanta and Boulder remind us that too often we are faced with trauma, acts of terrorism, gun violence, racism, hate crimes, and other tragic events. When faced with these tragic, challenging events, our needs are physical, emotional, and psychological. Claremont EAP is an important resource during difficult times. You and family members in the immediate household can receive free and confidential mental health support for issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, and grief.

Due to ongoing COVID challenges, we’ve decided to wait to formally open Presidio Tunnel Tops to the general public until spring 2022 rather than this fall. Instead, we will be using this fall and winter as an opportunity for an extended “soft opening” period, giving our community partners an extended time to use and test the space, and giving us more time to prepare a safe and positive visitor experience.
