Expanded online ComPsych Huddles in May
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, when we’re asked to raise awareness of mental
health issues and the stigma that often surrounds them. It’s also a good
time to check in on our own mental health and to take some time to give ourselves
the mental, emotional and physical self-care we need to be our best.
To help facilitate that care, UNCSA's Employee Assistance Program is offering an expanded slate of online ComPsych® Huddles in May covering dozens of mental health and well-being topics.
What are ComPsych Huddles? ComPsych Huddles are interactive online support groups focused on education, skill building and peer connection. In addition to small-group interactive Huddles, we also offer Huddle Webinars, for those who prefer “listen and learn” opportunities, as well as Huddle Practices, for those interested in joining a 10-15 minute guided practice, such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness meditation or stretching, to promote self-care moments during the day.
