Love leads the way in the September edition of the EAP newsletter.
“Love in September” may be a strange topic of discussion. While most people identify February as the month of love because of Valentine’s Day, the difficulties of these past months remind us how healing and helpful love can be in any season, and the many ways we can give and receive love. Learn more about the healing power of love in this month's EAP newsletter. Get more info about the Employee Assistance Plan here.

As we prepare for a fully virtual start to school, BEWARE of cyber security threats!
With more people working and learning online than ever, we have to be more vigilant regarding potential cyber security threats. To enhance SCS cyber defenses, IT Security wants to highlight a common cyber attack that everyone should be aware of – Phishing. Phishing is the most common type of cyber attack that affects organizations like ours. It can take many forms, but phishing attacks all have one common goal – getting you to share sensitive information, such as login credentials, credit card information or bank account details. Although we maintain controls to help protect our networks and computers from cyber threats, we rely on you to be our first line of defense. View this memo and this tip sheet from the IT Department for more details on types of phishing attacks and how to spot them. Remember, if you receive a suspicious email or accidentally click on a phishing link, report it to IT by calling 416-2700 (option 5).
