Check your well-being. Take an online mental health assessment.
Checking your well-being is the first step in ensuring you can support those around you. And, brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a behavioral health professional. The online mental health assessment, supported by the University’s Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP), is completely anonymous and confidential. Get started here.
Connect with your team. Schedule a group check-in with experts from the FSAP.
During challenging times, it's critical to protect your mental health and to help others who may need relief. As part of a benefit to faculty and staff, licensed behavioral health professionals from the FSAP can now offer aid to University teams and departments via virtual group “check-ins.” A check-in is a voluntary, stand-alone meeting conducted at the request of team leaders who wish to extend this type of help to the members of their teams. Learn more about scheduling a “check-in” for your team.
