Employee mental health resources

As we navigate the start of the term, while also looking out for our own communities, it’s important to prioritize our well-being and safety. We encourage you to check in with a colleague, take a moment to rest and rest, and utilize one of the available University resources below:

• Benefits-eligible faculty and staff can access well-being and counseling support through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• The EAP also provides legal help. 24-hour emergency legal services and impactful event resources are also available if you have legal concerns.
• The University’s medical program covers mental health services, which offers both in-person and virtual care options.
• The Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing offers free virtual Mindful Mondays sessions.
