Monthly Well-Being Newsletter:
You’re Not Alone

This month, we want to remind you of the resources available whenever you
or someone you care about needs help.

Everyone faces difficult moments. Sometimes stress and emotional pain can feel like too much to handle alone. But support and connection make a real difference, and reaching out early can save lives.

Join us for our Webinar:

Suicide Prevention Awareness and Education Session

Adam Brown is Professor of Psychology at The New School for Social
Research. He has extensive experience developing programs to promote
mental health awareness, providing training, technical guidance, and support
in the creation, implementation, and evaluation of scalable, evidence-based
strategies that can be delivered in a wide range of contexts by non-specialists.

Head of the New School Center for Global Mental Health and the Global
Mental Health graduate minor, Dr. Brown focuses his research on the
adaptation of mental health and psychosocial interventions that can be
delivered globally by non-mental health professionals, and works closely with
cross-sector partners to carry out this work. Additionally, he has extensive
experience in the study of traumatic stress and the identification of factors
that contribute to mental health risks and resilience.

Taking Care of Your Mental Health

Notice When You Need Support

It’s okay to not be okay. If you’re feeling persistently sad or disconnected, those are signs you might benefit from extra support. Things become more manageable when you reach out early.

Talking to someone can lift some of the weight. That might be a friend or family member, a coworker, or a trained professional. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Check Your Workplace Benefits

Many people don’t realize how much is already available through their benefits. Your HR team or benefits guide can show you what you have access to. This often includes confidential EAP counseling at no cost, mental health visits covered by your health plan, and support apps like BetterHelp or TalkSpace.

Give Yourself Permission to Rest

When stress piles up, stepping away matters. Get some fresh air. Take a real break during your workday. Use your PTO when you need it. Creating space helps you recover emotionally and mentally.
