Mental Health Impacts
Overall Health
Your mental health directly impacts your overall well-being. And as we all deal with new or increased stresses due to COVID-19—or other stressors that can occur both at work and outside of work—it’s important for you and your family members to have access to mental health resources.
For starters, all of our medical plans cover mental health care. Additionally, we have added several campus and community resources that are readily available if and when you need them.
