Absolutely for trigger warnings. Safe spaces should be reserved for those with mental health triggers or those threatened by potential physical violence such as a nurse’s office or guidance counselor.

Every safe space should have a marine corps drill instructor in it to make sure they are safe
@8K2963Z4yrs4Y
Yes, a safe space should be provided for students who may have a condition/conditions and need it to excel in their studies, and there should be trigger warnings for those with trauma/PTSD.
@9G9C49K1yr1Y
Absolutely for trigger warnings. Safe spaces should be limited to a nurse or guidance counselor’s office for students suffering mental health episodes or in clear physical danger or distress
@8M2N46D4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should be up to the university: it shouldn't be enforced by the government.
@uhrickallison4yrs4Y
It should be the choice of the university to provide them or not.
