UIC employee assistance and wellness resources
During the difficult times we are experiencing, and the stress created from uncertainty, we want to remind employees of the various options available for mental health assistance. Services provided through university resources that can be accessed virtually during the restrictions created by COVID-19 are listed below:

Other strategies for maintaining well-being involve staying connected to others, exercising, healthy eating, finding time to unwind and getting regular sleep. Other stress management techniques include mindfulness and deep breathing, or you may want to read the CDC guidance for coping with stress.
