Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act even in the workplace. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Additional resources are available through the university’s EAP, including blogs/articles addressing burnout. EAP also provides individual counseling for employees and their family members as well as assistance in locating community resources and information.
