Recognize when you or a coworker may need support
For most of us, stress comes with the job. Sometimes pressure can be motivating. However, stress can escalate into something serious. How do you know when you or a coworker might need help?
You may notice a decrease in productivity, or comments about feeling overwhelmed. You may see physical changes that occur when stress depletes energy for self-care. If so, remember that your Employee Assistance Program can help.

Webinar: Mental Health First Aid
Being equipped to be able to respond to peers and support co-workers in a manner that is helpful is an important emotional health skill. An employee may hear news of a recent bereavement of a family member, and look to their teammates for support in the workplace.
The goal of this training is to develop and train employees to provide emotional support to co-workers who are facing individual emotional concerns.
