Brock University’s Health Management and Wellness team has several updates for employees as July approaches.<\/p>\n
Staff, faculty and librarians seeking counselling services through LifeWorks, Brock’s Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) provider, are reminded they can request a therapist with specific experiences or specializations associated with age, ethnicity, gender, geography, language and religion, among others. LifeWorks draws from a diverse network to match clients with the best-qualified resources to suit individual needs.<\/p>\n
Employees seeking wellness opportunities are invited to attend any of the upcoming free virtual wellness events outlined in the July Wellness Calendar<\/a>:<\/p>\n Employees are also invited to participate in the Timed Trek Across Canada physical activity challenge<\/a>. Although it has already begun, employees can still join and start tracking their activity to help collectively reach 122,000 minutes of movement. Participants will be entered into a random draw to win a Campus Store gift card.<\/p>\n Brock community members are also reminded of the University\u2019s year-long initiative to make kindness the norm<\/a>. The workplace kindness calendar<\/a> theme for July is Human Connection. Kindness suggestions for the month include inviting someone to lunch, sharing a sincere compliment and asking a co-worker about their culture.<\/p>\n For more information and resources on employee wellness, including Brock\u2019s EFAP and recorded wellness seminars, visit the Health, Safety and Wellness Toolbox on SharePoint<\/a> or email employeehealth@brocku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n The toolbox includes a listing of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>resources from LifeWorks wellness newsletters<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>on topics such as mental health, parenting, leadership, relationships, nutrition and finance.
