Let's take some time throughout our day to recharge, practice self-care and take a moment to breathe. Discover this week's tips and resources on how to stay well!
For many people, the holiday season will look different this year. Holidays are typically a period of high activity, gatherings, travel, and celebrations, yet due to COVID-19 and physical distancing guidelines, some of these things may not be possible.

Some people have personally felt the impact of COVID-19 and have experienced grief and loss. Additional stressors, like isolation, financial worry and living with a certain degree of uncertainty can make this season particularly difficult.

The Office of Employee Assistance (OEA) understands this and is here to support you and your immediate family members through virtual appoints.

If you suspect that you are struggling with emotional issues and want to learn more about how you are feeling, take a free anonymous online mental health screen. Help is within reach.

While it may seem particularly hard to find things to appreciate during this pandemic, there is still plenty to be thankful for. We encourage you to make a conscious effort to place your focus on gratitude.
