As we make our way through the pandemic, quarantine and an unusual holiday season, it\u2019s normal to feel isolated and alone at times. To help, University employees can now tap into support from their peers via new Zoom support groups from<\/span> Well-U<\/span><\/a><\/span> and<\/span> UR Medicine EAP<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

These 30-minute<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Connect for Support<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sessions are free for faculty, managers and supervisors, as well as staff in non-management roles.\u00a0Each session is led by an EAP counselor and will focus on self-care and coping strategies. The program kicks off Dec. 31.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Ann E. Cornell, Psy.D.<\/span><\/a>, director of EAP, said it will meet a growing need for employees at all levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese unprecedented times have presented many new challenges to employees, managers and faculty members,\u201d said Cornell. \u201cTrying to find time to seek support and to engage in self-care may seem impossible.\u00a0Connect for Support\u00a0creates a virtual space for employees to learn about coping strategies and to connect with and to support one another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in participating, please refer to the <\/span>events calendar <\/span><\/a><\/span>to see session dates and sign up. Got questions? <\/span>Email Well-U<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
